AnomalyOn Saturday, August 15, 2015 at 10:30 PM, two people observed the passage of 7 luminous points in a clear sky. Round in shape and orange-red in color, the points moved silently, first on a straight trajectory, then appearing to ascend. Only one well-documented testimony was 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 was observed from North-Northwest to South-Southwest, which is consistent with the north wind recorded in Angers (see the Météociel report for Angers on the day of the observation). The photos are entirely consistent with this type of object. GEIPAN classifies this case as "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.
