A witness observes around 11 PM a bright light rising from the ground toward the sky, then shooting off to the West at high speed. A second phenomenon appears a few minutes later and follows the same trajectory. The observation of bright yellow lights on a Saturday evening, moving successively in the direction of the wind (light easterly wind, recorded at Blagnac: weather) suggests Thai lanterns released at the end of a party. Given the relatively low strangeness of this observation case, GEIPAN did not request an on-site investigation. GEIPAN classifies this case as "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.
