AnomalyThe observation of 21 yellow-orange balls crossing the sky in a few minutes, on a weekend night, strongly suggests Thai lanterns, probably released nearby at the end of a private party. The observed movement from NE to SW is consistent with the NE wind recorded in Strasbourg: Météo. The witness reports an absence of wind, but the recorded wind was fairly strong at 20 to 30 km/h. The witness was probably sheltered by the houses. The witness had time to take photos and videos. No other testimony was collected. GEIPAN classifies this case "B" — probable observation of Thai lanterns.
