GEIPAN states that the observation was probably of Thai lanterns.
Claim #15980 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“GEIPAN classifies this case as "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.”

// [[T0002]] Analysis and classification
The source states that the conditions and location were conducive to the release of Thai lanterns, which are often launched in groups.
Claim #15981 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 96% extraction confidence
“place are very conducive to the release of Thai lanterns, which are often launched in groups.”

The wind recorded at Vannes was described as consistent with the observed phenomenon moving westward while rising.
Claim #15982 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 95% extraction confidence
“The wind recorded at Vannes is consistent with the direction of movement of the observed phenomenon, which moved westward while rising.”

The source considered that the phenomenon could also correspond to an aircraft seen head-on, but judged the Thai-lantern hypothesis much more likely.
Claim #15983 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“The lantern hypothesis remains much more likely.”

// [[T0002]] Analysis
The source states that the phenomenon's stationary phase may have resulted from movement toward the witness in a very local breeze.
Claim #15984 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 92% extraction confidence
“The phenomenon's stationary phase may correspond to movement toward the witness in a very local breeze.”

// [[T0002]] Analysis
The source states that rapid ascent, decreasing luminosity, and an observation lasting a few minutes are consistent with lantern behavior.
Claim #15985 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 96% extraction confidence
“The rapid ascent of lanterns into the sky is normal; the decrease in luminosity is often interpreted as distancing, and an observation lasting a few minutes is usual for a lantern.”
