The witness observes and photographs two orange lights in the sky, static and appearing very distant. The objects disappear however after a few minutes. The observation of two orange lights in the sky over a few minutes, on a weekend night, clearly suggests Thai lanterns, probably released nearby at the end of a private party. The lights, observed toward the southeast, seemed motionless, which is consistent with the nearly zero, variable wind recorded at Albi: weather. GEIPAN classifies this case "B" probable observation of Thai lanterns.
