White lights in the sky of Saint-Briec

Summary

On November 26, 2011, at 21:05, a witness in Saint-Briec observed the silent movement of four glowing spheres for five minutes. These appeared as bright points moving in the direction of the wind, from the southwest, a typical pattern for Thai lanterns. Although the time and date (Saturday evening) fit with festive events, the witness described the lights as white, which is unusual since even white lanterns usually emit a yellow or orange glow.

Despite this, the case was classified as "B" by the GEIPAN, suggesting it was likely Thai lanterns. However, the description of white lights raises some doubt, as it doesn't exactly match the usual appearance of such objects. Still, the overall description and context support the hypothesis of a festive event.
