On October 3, 2014 at 5:28 a.m., a witness is intrigued by the silent passage in the sky of a yellow-orange luminous phenomenon (fireball) in the sky. Given the elements collected (see the investigation report), namely the movement of the UAP in the direction of the wind, the dominant yellow-orange color, the impression of a burning object, the regular movement and the absence of noise, we can conclude that the observation made by the witness is probably that of a Thai lantern moving with the wind. This case is classified as "B" as a probable observation of a wind-borne Thai lantern.
