PARIS (75) 20.12.2011

On 20 December 2011 at about 22:05, a witness saw a red object moving silently along a straight path across the sky, with 2 or 3 yellow lights in its center. The account had the characteristics of a sky lantern: a red-orange ball moving with the wind, which was from the west (see weather record). The year-end holiday period might have prompted this small lantern release. GEIPAN classified the case B as a probable sky lantern sighting.
