A triangle shape in Alpes-Maritimes, France
On September 13, 2015 at 8:30 PM, two people on a balcony were intrigued by the silent movement along an ascending trajectory in the sky of five yellow-orange luminous points. Three of them formed a triangle. Only one testimony was collected.
Given the objective elements defined in the investigation report (attached document), namely:
- the orange or yellow-orange color identical to that of lanterns.
- the number corresponding to a "classic" grouped release of lanterns.
- the simultaneous movement of the lanterns, carried by the wind and giving rise to an illusion of form psychology.
- the movement in the direction of the prevailing wind.
- the behavior identical to that of objects subjected to zero or light wind: low speed.
- the short observation duration (1 to 2 minutes) compatible with the lifespan of lanterns.
- the date: a Sunday evening, compatible with times favorable for organizing lantern releases on the occasion of celebrations.
- the disappearance caused by the extinguishing of the lanterns having reached the end of their life.
- the absence of noise.
- the presence nearby of open-air facilities favorable to lantern releases, located in the direction of observation.
GEIPAN classifies this case as "B" as a probable observation of Thai lanterns.

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.
