On Friday, June 5, 2015, at around 11:15 PM, a witness and his wife observe, from the window of their bathroom located on the north side, the slow and silent passage of red-colored lights in the clear sky. The lights move toward the east. The witness reports his observation to the gendarmerie. No other testimony is collected. The observation of orange balls crossing the sky in a few minutes, on a weekend night, strongly suggests Thai lanterns, probably released nearby at the end of a private party. The movement is observed from north to east, which may be consistent with the very weak unstable wind observed at Salon-de-Provence, about 10 km away (see the METEOCIEL record). Due to the lack of knowledge of the local wind at the exact moment of the observation, GEIPAN cannot confirm this Thai lantern hypothesis. GEIPAN classifies this case as "C" due to the lack of photos and lack of information on the local wind.
