Red lights in Deux-Sèvres, France
The witness observes, from his garden, two glowing red balls, non-flashing, silent, moving slowly toward the East before disappearing. The observation of red balls crossing part of the sky in a few minutes, on a festive night, clearly suggests Thai lanterns, probably released nearby and at the end of a private party. The movement is observed toward the East, which is consistent with the northwest wind recorded in Niort according to the weather data. The GEIPAN classifies this case "B" — probable observation of Thai lanterns.
