Case description

On 14 May 2008 between 21:30 and 22:30, 3 people at a birthday party in Avignon (84) watched 3 yellow-orange balls move slowly east to west without sound. The sighting lasted under 1 minute. Only 1 account was collected. GEIPAN finds the colors, shapes and path characteristic of sky lanterns. East-to-west travel matched the easterly wind measured in Avignon at 22:00. It classifies the case B: probable sky lanterns.
