Red-orange light observed in Vendée on January 1st, 2014

Summary

On January 1st, 2014, at 12:15 AM, several people in Vendée noticed a red-orange light silently moving across the sky. The observation occurred on a festive night, and the light was slowly moving northeast. Witnesses took a photo, though when greatly enlarged, it shows possible blur from movement. The possibility of a Thai lantern was considered, as the light wind from the south reported by Meteociel was compatible with the movement direction. The GEIPAN classified the case as "B", suggesting a plausible explanation involving known objects, such as the famous flying lanterns.
