Open this case in the interactive AtlasCase description
On 20 August 2013 at 22:40, 3 people saw an orange light pass silently.
GEIPAN considers a sky lantern probable. Grenoble and Lyon weather records show a strong northerly wind, consistent with the northwest-to-southeast movement. The video fully fits the hypothesis. Lanterns are more often released at weekends, but summer weekday celebrations, here on a Tuesday, are not uncommon.
GEIPAN rates strangeness as very low and classifies the case B: probable sky lantern.
