An orange orb in Loz�re, France
On Thursday, July 2, 2015 at 10:30 PM, several people observe the slow silent N-S movement of a glowing orange-colored ball, which disappears behind the clouds. Only one testimony is collected.
The observation of a fireball floating slowly in the sky along a seemingly random trajectory suggests an object on fire carried by the wind, for example a Thai lantern.
The Infoclimat network indicates a light west wind recorded at Mas-de-la-Barque, 5 km away.
Météociel indicates a weak unstable wind recorded at Mende, 35 km away.
These elements, added to the fact that the observation took place in the heart of a relatively enclosed valley, make it impossible to determine the actual wind at low altitude. Low-altitude winds are very complex in mountainous areas.
This Thai lantern hypothesis, which remains consistent with the observation, cannot be confirmed.
GEIPAN considered a plasma-type phenomenon: but there is no storm context at all, nor any seismic environment.
GEIPAN classifies this case "C" due to lack of cross-checking.

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
