ALSACAT-2012-05-27-ILLKIRCHGRAFFENSTADEN-1
After reading on a general information website of the city of Besançon about "mysterious" orange lights that were seen there, one Bruno added his comments on May 28, 2012, saying that he too had seen "these strange orange lights" in the sky, on May 28, 2012 at 01:15 a.m. in the sky of d'Illkirch-Graffenstaden near Strasbourg in the Bas-Rhin.
He said there were first two; then a dozen followed. He returned home to get his mobile phone to film it, but the time he came out of his home, they were all gone but one that he managed to film. He concluded that it was "weird".

[Ref. btt1:] WITNESS REPORT ON THE WEBSITE "LE BISON TEINT":
Following an article about "mysterious balls" - obviously Chinese lanterns seen in Besançon, readers commented with their own sighting report, including from Alsace, such as this one:

Since "Bruno" published on Monday, May 28, 2012, saying that "it was Sunday morning," I dated the case as on Sunday, May 27, 2012.
The description totally evokes a launch of Chinese lanterns, nothing precluding this explanation.
On the web page where Bruno published his story, there are several dozens other similar stories from all over France at various dates, supposed to be "mysterious orange lights", and some wise readers commented these were Chinese lanterns - there is also a reader that seems a bit less informed explaining that these were "Annunaki" aliens from the "Nibiru" planet. There are no reactions by Bruno to these explanations.
Of course, diehards might protest that I did not "scientifically prove" Bruno saw lanterns, and it must then be considered that it might have be an alien spaceship or some "paranormal phenomenon" that appeared to be coincidentally similar to a launch of Chinese lanterns...
