Red lights in the sky over SartroUVILLE

Summary

A couple in SartroUVille observed around midnight on December 2, 2012, a series of red glowing objects moving at regular intervals across a cloudy sky. The witnesses described how the objects disappeared one after another, suggesting a controlled movement. Although initially thought to be traditional Thai lanterns, some blue reflections were noted, which are unusual for this type of object. Weather conditions, with light and variable westerly winds, matched the observed movement. Investigators suggested the objects might have been launched near the Seine River after a festive evening.

This case was classified as "B" by the GEIPAN, indicating a likely observation explained by known phenomena, in this case, Thai lanterns. Despite the detailed and coherent description by the witnesses, no conclusive evidence of an unexplained phenomenon was found. Cases like this, though not confirmed as UFO sightings, provide valuable data for understanding perceptions and atmospheric conditions that can lead to similar observations.
