Orange ball in the sky over Tours

Summary

On October 31, 2012, a witness in Tours observed a glowing ball moving silently from south to north across the sky. The object, orange in color, moved slowly and in a straight line. The witness recorded the event with a camera, but no other witnesses were reported. Although the case was reported years later, in 2015, the description and the video align with the characteristics of a Thai lantern. The date, close to Halloween and a public holiday, supports this hypothesis. The GEIPAN classified the case as B, indicating it was likely a Thai lantern.
