Red lights in Morbihan, France

On July 13, 2017 at 10:38 PM, a witness in the courtyard of his house observed the stationary presence and then the slow movement of a red ball and three green balls in the clear sky. The witness took photos before the shimmering phenomenon moved away until it disappeared. No noise was heard. Only one testimony was collected. The witness probably saw a group of Thai lanterns of different colors. Indeed, the wind that evening, according to Infoclimat, was oriented toward the southeast in the direction of the observation. This explains the quasi-stationary effect of the UAP in azimuth. The slow disappearance may come from the slow extinguishing of the burners. The date (summer and the eve of the national holiday) is favorable for festive events of this type. Consequently, GEIPAN classifies this case as B: Thai lanterns.
