Case description

On 1 November 2014 at 21:15, a witness saw 3 round orange-red objects move silently across the sky before losing sight of them. Orange balls crossing over a few minutes on a weekend night suggest sky lanterns probably released nearby after a private party. From the house's north side, the witness saw west-to-east movement, which does not match the light south wind recorded at Melun. Although the description fits lanterns, that hypothesis cannot be confirmed unless a gust occurred at the observation time. Without precise local weather data or corroboration, GEIPAN cannot reach a conclusion. The low-strangeness case is classified C.
