Twinkling red-orange lights in Bayonne

Summary

A witness in Bayonne observed twelve twinkling red-orange lights in the sky, moving in a random manner. The lights gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared. Although the event occurred in a tourist area on a Saturday night in August, the GEIPAN suggests the lights could be Thai lanterns, often released after festivals. However, the lack of precise information on the direction of observation and movement makes it impossible to confirm this hypothesis. The report mentions overcast weather and a light southerly wind, but no conclusive link can be made between the wind and the movement of the lights.
