An account in Bas-Rhin, France

The observation of orange glowing objects crossing the sky along the same trajectories within a few minutes, on a weekend night, strongly suggests Thai lanterns, probably released nearby at the end of a private party. The trail observed could be the smoke given off by the burner. Meteociel indicates a very weak wind from N to NE: Weather . The observation describes two types of movement, only one is compatible with this NE wind. The other movement could be explained by a somewhat different wind pattern at altitude, a possible pattern with very weak wind, but hypothetical. Although this case has many characteristics of a Thai lantern observation, these complex movements leave doubt as to the nature of the phenomenon. GEIPAN classifies this case "C" due to lack of information and cross-checking.
