Open this case in the interactive AtlasCase description
A witness saw 12 sparkling orange-red lights move randomly, dim and eventually go out.
GEIPAN considers this suggestive of sky lanterns, often released after celebrations, particularly on a Saturday-to-Sunday night in August in a tourist area. Météociel records show a light southerly wind and overcast conditions. The witness supplied neither viewing nor movement directions, preventing a wind comparison to confirm the explanation.
The case has low strangeness and is classified B: probable sky lanterns.
