Red lights in Savoie, France

During an outdoor reception on July 8, 2010, around twenty people see at 11 p.m. a luminous phenomenon of red color. A witness reports observing a red spot that grows larger and larger until it resembles a blinking red ball surrounded by a mauve-purple ring. It moves silently and in a straight line, at constant speed. The sudden disappearance of the object ends the observation. Only one testimony will be collected. Of average strangeness but of weak consistency given the absence of precise coordinates of the observation location and the lack of precision regarding the direction of the phenomenon (first noted toward the West, then from the Bauges massif toward Mont Granier, which corresponds to an axis oriented toward the South Southwest passing with difficulty vertically over Barberaz), we cannot confirm the hypothesis of a Thai lantern.
