An orange orb in Tarn-et-Garonne, France
The witness sees a light in the sky, and then observes a round shape of yellow-orange color, crossing the sky without noise, in two minutes. The observation of an orange ball crossing the sky in a few minutes on a weekend night clearly suggests a sky lantern, probably released nearby at the end of a private party. The movement is observed from the northeast toward the northwest, which is consistent with the southeast-to-northeast wind recorded at Montauban: weather. GEIPAN classifies this case as "B": probable observation of a sky lantern.
