// [[T0002]] Assessment
The source says the appearance and description of the UAP very strongly evoke Thai lanterns, including round red-orange lights, high luminosity, and observation during the weekend.
Claim #8180 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“The appearance of the UAP in the videos, as well as its description in the testimony, very strongly evokes Thai lanterns: round red-orange lights, high luminosity, observed during the weekend.”

// [[T0002]] Assessment
The source states that slight apparent movement was consistent with a total absence of wind at the time of observation.
Claim #8181 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“The witness describes the UAP as stationary, but it turns out that the luminous points had slight apparent movement, which is very consistent with the total absence of wind at the time of the observation.”
Source: VELLERON (84) 21.04.2019
// [[T0002]] Assessment
The source explains the apparent strangeness of the disappearance by the change in the direction of the road taken by the witnesses.
Claim #8182 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 97% extraction confidence
“Only the short duration of the observation and the disappearance of the UAP appear surprising, but the change in the direction of the road taken by the witnesses makes it possible to explain this apparent strangeness.”

The case is classified B as a very probable misidentification of Thai lanterns.
