Red lights in Haut-Rhin, France
On Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 1:30 in the morning, a witness is intrigued by the silent passage in the sky of groups of dark red balls. The witness takes photographs.
This testimony of orange-red balls moving in single file on weekend nights clearly evokes Thai lanterns. It is difficult to correlate their movement, estimated from East to West, with the local wind, which is very weak and variable on the one hand, and therefore uncertain (wind recorded from the North at Colmar, from the South at Basel (see weather, this may explain the change in direction.
The witness, who was unaware of the existence of this type of object, did research and recognized that they could be lanterns.
Despite the uncertainty about the local wind, GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.
