Viadouvan (France) March 15, 2008

Summary

On March 15, 2008, between 22:20 and 22:30, two witnesses observed three silent, successive passes of a luminous phenomenon described as a "ball of fire." The description of the glowing object, the timing between sightings, and the coherent movement with the dominant wind direction from the east all align with the characteristics of traditional Thai lanterns. The time of day and the fact that it was a Saturday evening also support this explanation. Although the event might seem unusual at first, all elements are consistent with the observation of three Thai lanterns. The case was classified as "B," indicating a likely observation of such lanterns.
