Red lights in Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France
The witness observes twelve sparkling orange-red lights in the sky, which move in a random manner. The lights diminish and finally go out.
The observation of twelve sparkling orange-red lights in the sky, moving randomly, on a Saturday-to-Sunday night, moreover in August in a tourist area, suggests Chinese lanterns, often released at the end of celebrations. Meteociel indicates that evening a weak south wind, overcast weather. The information provided by the witness (direction of observation and movement not specified) does not allow comparing this movement with the local wind to confirm this hypothesis.
GEIPAN classifies this case "B", not very strange, probable observation of Chinese lanterns.
