An account in Côte-d'Or, France

On Sunday, June 14, 2015 at around 5:10 a.m., a witness at his window is intrigued by the successive and silent passage of 7 to 8 luminous, spherical and orange phenomena in the sky. The observation will last about 10 minutes before they disappear into the clouds. The witness had time to take photographs: unfortunately they will be illegible. The witness will go to the gendarmerie. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon. No explanation was seen in the local press in the following days. The observation of orange lights crossing the sky in a few minutes, on a weekend night, suggests Thai lanterns, probably released nearby at the end of a private party. The movement is observed from the Southwest to the Northwest: if these are objects carried by the wind, it would then be a south or southeast wind. The Météociel report (see the weather document), taken at the exact location of the observation (Dijon air base), reports a very variable indeterminate wind at 5 a.m., weak from the southeast at 4 a.m. to east at 6 a.m. This weather report neither confirms nor rules out that the observed objects are indeed objects carried by the wind. On the other hand, GEIPAN requested a record of primary radar tracks around Dijon at that time: the record only indicates airliners at high altitude. The photos taken by the witness turn out to be unusable, proof of the weakness of the observed lights. Despite a testimony compatible with Thai lanterns, GEIPAN does not have enough elements to confirm this hypothesis, and classifies this case "C" for lack of information and cross-checking.
