In August 2009, a witness in Bas-Rhin observed red luminous phenomena in the sky over two consecutive nights. These objects moved in an unusual manner, drawing the attention of the witness and prompting others to report their sightings. Although the movement initially seemed inconsistent with the wind conditions of the day, investigators concluded that these could be Thai lanterns. These lights, common during festivals, can move quickly due to local air currents, especially on warm nights. The detailed description provided by the witness aligns with the characteristics of these lights, suggesting a terrestrial explanation for the phenomenon.
