AnomalyIn the night from Saturday to Sunday, July 12, 2015, at 12:45 AM, several people at a gathering among friends are intrigued by the silent passage of more than a dozen orange balls in the clear sky. The trajectory is straight. 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 SSE toward the East, which is consistent with the west wind recorded at Le Havre-Octeville (see the Météociel report for the day of the observation). The GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.
