Red lights in Puy-de-D�me, France
On November 25, 2016 at 6:03 PM, a motorist is intrigued by the movement of a red light. He thinks of a motorized vehicle going up a slope. But the light gains altitude above the Gergovie plateau before disappearing. No other testimony is collected.
The described elements suggest a release of a Thai lantern.
The trajectory is compatible with the wind measured at Aulnat on the Infoclimat record. This wind is very variable but points west at 6 PM and is therefore capable of making the lantern rise toward the plateau.
The weekend is always more favorable for such a playful or festive event, especially since it is already a bit dark. Which is the case at 6 PM (the witness describes other lights in the falling night). Perhaps there were other lantern releases later that the witness did not have the opportunity to see.
Consequently, GEIPAN classifies the case as B: observation of a Thai lantern.
