[N537] DE TREILLIERES (44) VERS NANTES (44) 16.04.2011

On 16 April 2011 at about 02:20, a driver and his female passenger noticed about 10 orange balls of light moving horizontally and silently from northeast to southwest before gradually disappearing. Their account of moving orange lights going out after a few minutes, together with a northeast wind, matched sky lanterns in every respect. The timing, at the end of a weekend evening, was also typical of lantern releases following a party. The case was classified B as a probable sky lantern sighting.
