An account in Gironde, France

The witness observes about twenty spherical objects colored orange-red. The objects disappear behind the houses of the village. The witness thinks of Thai lanterns but knows the phenomenon poorly. The observation of orange balls in the sky on a weekend night evokes Thai lanterns. The near absence of wind makes it difficult to correlate the movement of the objects with that of the wind. The absence of other witnesses or of any report in the press or on the Internet does not allow confirming this hypothesis, though extremely probable. The GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns released at the end of a private party.
