Summary

A driver and his passenger observed in Martinique on December 25, 2011, a bright stationary light performing swinging movements in the sky. Initially thinking it was fireworks, they continued their journey but stopped to take photos, noticing three luminous masses in a line ascending rapidly without making any noise. Despite the several minutes of observation, there were no other witnesses or confirmations. The most likely hypothesis points to Thai lanterns, compatible with the wind and the photos taken. However, the irregular movement of these lights raises questions, suggesting the possibility of upward air currents in the area. Ultimately, the case was classified as a probable observation of Thai lanterns.
