ALSACAT-2008-10-11-ALSACE-1
On May 6, 2013, a video titled "ufo Alsace" appeared on Youtube - it then disappeared - accompanied by a short story saying that during the night of Saturday, October 11, 2008, around 10:30 p.m., a family and their neighbors saw in the sky a huge luminous dot moving from north to south and having a bright red color.
A few seconds later, a second and a third "mysterious" dot also of bright red color appeared and joined the first.
During this observation, the night was reportedly "calm and relatively silent", and apparently none of these "mysterious balls did not emit the slightest noise during their travels."
In two of the comments of the video, it is suggested that these might have been Chinese lanterns.

I see the same things in the sky all almosts [sic] evenings! Thank you for shared your experiences !!
In the years 2005 to 2018 (when I write these lines - in Alsace, most so-called "UFO sightings" that were reported were actually caused by Chinese lanterns.
In this case, I obviously do not have some "scientific evidence". Simply, the meager description is consistent with that. So if diehards insist that these were not Chinese lanterns, let them demonstrate it.
