Luminous disc in Francheville

Summary

On May 18, 2013, a witness in Francheville observed a luminous disc-like object moving slowly from the first floor of their home before suddenly disappearing. The witness described the object as about the size of half a streetlight, resembling a small lantern. The report notes that the wind was blowing from the south, and since the house was oriented north, it is speculated that the object might have been subject to turbulence in the sheltered street. Additionally, the Pentecost weekend was a time of numerous celebrations that included the release of Thai lanterns, whose cylindrical shape viewed from above matches the witness's description. The GEIPAN classified the case as "B", suggesting it was likely a Thai lantern observed from above.
