Red light observed in Lutttenbach-pres-Munster

Summary

A witness in France spotted a red light in the sky on the early morning of June 26, 2016. From his west-facing window, he described a slow-moving bright point heading northeast. The observation lasted between 1 and 2 minutes, and the object disappeared behind some trees. Although only one witness was reported in the area, further investigations revealed dozens of similar lights were launched that same night in another French region. This points to a common summer activity: the release of Thai lanterns. The GEIPAN report concludes this is a typical observation of such objects, considering their color, trajectory, and speed. Additionally, the weather and festive season support this explanation.
