Summary

A couple in Saint-Cyprien observed three white points forming a triangle in the sky on July 26, 2014, at 11:10 PM. From their garden, they saw these silent objects moving toward the southeast. Three minutes later, they observed the same phenomenon again, but farther away. Although the event seemed mysterious, investigators concluded it was likely Thai lanterns. The shape, color, and trajectory matched those of traditional lanterns used in festivals, which are common in summer. Moreover, the wind in the region that night was blowing toward the southeast, matching the observed movement.

The case was classified as B, indicating no unexplained elements. Thai lanterns are known objects that can resemble UFOs to the untrained eye. Other nearby reports at the same time also supported this explanation. So, while the initial mystery might have intrigued, the most reasonable explanation is a local celebration with lanterns, not an alien craft.
