AnomalyOn December 25, 2014 at around 7:15 PM, two people were intrigued by the movements of an incandescent trail in the clear night sky. The phenomenon suddenly disappeared. No particular noise was heard. A third person in the village also made the observation. Only one questionnaire was collected. Given the elements gathered during the investigation (see the report), this case is to be classified as "B" — a probable observation of a flying object of the Thai lantern type under particular meteorological conditions (wind). GEIPAN did not conduct research to find the person who released it; therefore, the explanation given is only very probable, but not certain.
