AUTRECHE (37) 28.08.2011

On 28 August 2011 at about 00:35, a motorist and his wife at Autrèche saw orange points moving silently from north-northwest toward the east. They then distinguished 7 apparently equilateral triangles, each containing a rounded shape inside one corner. After about 1 minute, the phenomenon disappeared due east, rapidly diminishing in apparent size. GEIPAN considers the number, color and speed of the objects entirely consistent with sky lanterns. The date and time, on the night from Saturday to Sunday, and the westerly wind support this hypothesis.
