Red light in the sky over Lourdes

Summary

A witness in Lourdes observed a red light in the sky on April 29, 2011. While closing the shutters of his room, he noticed a luminous object changing direction unexpectedly. The GEIPAN classified the case as B, indicating a plausible explanation. Investigators concluded it was likely a Thai lantern, whose behavior under light wind and urban conditions would explain the erratic movements. The witness's description matched the characteristics of such objects, including color, brightness, and duration.
