Orange lights in the sky over Gironde

Summary

On July 13, 2013, between 23:30 and 23:40, a witness observed a series of silent orange glowing spheres passing through the sky in Gironde. These lights moved according to the direction of the northeast wind, recorded in the area. The witness was intrigued by the sequence of objects and took photos supporting his testimony. The characteristics of the case—color, movement, and weather—match those typical of "Thai lanterns."

The GEIPAN, the French organization responsible for studying unidentified aerial phenomena, classified this case as "B," indicating a likely observation of these natural lights. The weather conditions and time of year also favored the appearance of this phenomenon. Although not of extraterrestrial origin, the case remains interesting due to the clarity of the testimony and consistency with rare but known phenomena.
