On Saturday, May 23, 2015, between 11:00 PM and 11:15 PM, two people observe for about 5 minutes the rapid and silent passage of a very bright orange object in the sky. A few minutes later, a second object with the same characteristics as the first is spotted. Only one testimony is collected. The observation of orange balls crossing the sky in a few minutes, on a weekend night, clearly suggests Thai lanterns, probably released nearby at the end of a private party. The movement is observed from West to East, which is consistent with the westerly wind recorded at Cognac (see the Météociel data). GEIPAN classifies this case as "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.
