UFO in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence July 16, 2015

Summary

On July 16, 2015, a witness in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence observed an object resembling a fireball. The object was flying silently at low altitude, stopped, changed direction, and disappeared quickly. The witness managed to take a photo with their phone, showing an orange fireball. No other witnesses were reported. The GEIPAN analyzed the case and concluded it could be a Thai lantern.
