Mysterious red lights over Paris in 2012

Summary

On the night of March 23, 2012, a witness in Paris observed two red lights moving silently and uniformly above the buildings. The phenomenon lasted a few minutes and disappeared as it was hidden by the urban landscape. Although it might initially seem unusual, the GEIPAN classified the case as "B," suggesting a plausible explanation: Thai lanterns. These lights, typical of celebrations, move with the wind and are often released during festivals. Although not recommended in urban areas, it is not uncommon to see them in the city. The testimony matches the known characteristics of this type of object, making the explanation reasonable.
