Open this case in the interactive AtlasCase description
Witnesses reported seeing several orange points of light moving silently on 6 May 2012 between 23:00 and 23:30. After a few minutes, the phenomenon seemed to go out and disappeared.
The orange ball-like appearance, movement with an east wind, duration of a few minutes, and slow, silent motion strongly suggested sky lanterns. GEIPAN suggested they had probably been released by a voter pleased with the presidential election result. The case was classified B as a probable sky lantern sighting.
