Case description

In this Saint-Sulpice case titled 27 August 2014, a witness saw and photographed 2 stationary orange lights that appeared very distant, then disappeared after a few minutes. GEIPAN considers such lights on what the source calls a weekend night strongly suggestive of sky lanterns, probably released nearby after a private party. The apparently stationary lights were seen toward the southeast, compatible with the nearly calm, variable wind recorded at Albi. GEIPAN classifies the case as B: probable sky lanterns. The weekend-night description is retained from the narrative alongside the title's date.
