Red lights in Vosges, France
On Sunday, September 8, 2013 at 4:19 a.m., two people are intrigued by the successive arrival in the sky of several very bright red lights that move silently in the same direction. One witness films what they observe and posts it on a dedicated website. This observation case was the subject of a field investigation by investigators commissioned by GEIPAN. The time, the video, the wind direction, the testimonies, the measurements show that these are indeed sky lanterns. The release site was found, not without difficulty. (see the investigation report). The witnesses are in good faith but were mistaken in their interpretation, since they first ruled out the lantern explanation based on their Internet research. GEIPAN classifies this case as "A," perfectly explained by the observation of Thai lanterns released during a private party.
