Orange lights moving in France

Summary

On April 16, 2011, a driver and his passenger observed a dozen orange glowing spheres moving silently from northeast to southwest. These lights moved horizontally before gradually disappearing. Although it might initially seem unusual, investigators concluded it was likely a case of Thai lanterns. These lights, common at celebrations, are often released after events, especially on weekends. The wind direction and timing matched this explanation, leading to the case being classified as a probable observation of such lanterns.
