An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Haute-Garonne, France

The witness is sitting on their terrace when they notice three orange circles moving slowly in the sky. The photo of the phenomenon, published in the press the next day for a case related to Gratentour, is identical to their observation. The observation of orange circles crossing the sky in a few minutes, along the same trajectory on a weekend night, strongly suggests Thai lanterns, probably released nearby at the end of a private party. The movement is observed coming from the southeast (Gratentour), which is consistent with the southeast wind recorded at Toulouse-Blagnac (south wind at Montauban). GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of a Thai lantern.
