An account in Rh�ne, France

During an outdoor festive evening, about twenty people observe the slow movement of white luminous spots in the night sky. No noise is heard. One witness reports their observation, which they were able to film. The observation of luminous 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 North to South, which is consistent with the northerly wind recorded at Lyon Bron (see the Météociel link). The good-quality video absolutely confirms this hypothesis: the luminous balls are clearly seen moving together, but without being linked; the extinguishing of some of them is noted. GEIPAN classifies this case "A" — observation of Thai lanterns.
