Old Boucau 2014, 7 points in a cross formation

Summary

During a festive night in Old Boucau, a witness observed seven bright points moving in a cross formation. The objects quickly disappeared into the clouds, but the context suggested they could be Thai lanterns or illuminated balloons released during the local celebration. The wind direction in the area was unpredictable due to typical coastal sea and thermal breezes in summer, making precise meteorological analysis difficult. Additionally, the lack of other testimonies indicated that the phenomenon did not attract attention from most people present. The GEIPAN concluded it was likely balloons or lanterns and classified the case as "B".
