Light in the Gironde sky in 2014

Summary

On August 31, 2014, a witness in Gironde closed their shutters after seeing between 12 and 15 silent, luminous objects flying in formation. The event took place on a weekend night and the objects moved from north to south, consistent with the recorded wind direction in the area. Although the phenomenon might seem unusual, the GEIPAN classified it as likely caused by Thai lanterns released after a private celebration.
