An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Paris, France

This testimony of static orange lights in the sky at 10:45 PM evokes Thai lanterns seen in the axis of the wind. The weather report indeed indicates a north wind of 15 to 30 km/h: Weather. The other flying object joining this group of luminous points also moves according to the wind. One can think of another lantern, launched after the first group. But the witness's description of this object matches a Thai lantern poorly; however, it should be noted that he observes it through the windshield of his car, while driving, and that the observation was very short (5 seconds). Due to these rather mediocre observation conditions, the absence of other testimonies despite a very populated environment, the strangeness of the case is not established, and its consistency is very weak (single witness, very short observation of 5 seconds). This case is classified "C": lack of information and cross-checking.
