UFO observed in France classified as terrestrial phenomenon

Summary

On the night of August 11, 2013, a witness in Châteauneuf-du-Faou (France) observed several orange-colored objects in the sky. These objects moved slowly toward the east-southeast, drawing the attention of the witness, who took several photographs. Although the initial testimony suggested an unusual aerial phenomenon, the GEIPAN analysis concluded that these were likely Thai lanterns. These objects, common in summer, move with the wind and their description matches the observation. Additionally, meteorological data from Quimper indicated a slight westerly wind, consistent with the movement of the objects. The case was classified as "B", meaning a terrestrial phenomenon explained.
