CHEVEUGES (08) 28.07.2013

On 28 July 2013 at 03:20, 2 witnesses on the first floor of their home saw 2 flattened circular red-orange lights move along a straight, slightly rising path. No particular sound was heard during the 1–2 minute sighting. Only 1 account was collected. Several red-orange lights moving together in a straight line for about 2 minutes on a summer Saturday night into Sunday strongly suggest sky lanterns released after a party. The source notes annual French sales exceeding 400,000 lanterns. Charleville weather records show light, highly variable wind. This prevents full confirmation, although the lantern hypothesis remains compatible. GEIPAN classifies the case B: probable sky lanterns.
