On December 25, 2014, between 1:20 a.m. and 1:29 a.m., a witness observes the successive movements of 8 luminous points in the clear sky. Slightly red in the center and yellow on the outside, these points all move silently toward the East (toward Hyères). No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon.
The observation of orange balls crossing the sky in a few minutes along the same trajectory, on a night of celebration, clearly suggests Thai lanterns, probably released nearby on the occasion of Christmas.
