On June 14, 2016 at 10:35 PM, a witness in their garden observed the successive passage of several orange-colored glowing balls, moving without sound, before disappearing toward the southeast. Only one testimony was collected. The witness probably saw Thai lanterns. The shape, color, configuration, and trajectory in the sky indicate a release of lanterns, especially since the direction of movement of the balls recorded that evening at the location was exactly that of the wind at heading 130°–140° (see Infoclimat). Consequently, GEIPAN classifies this as B: probable Thai lanterns.
