Case description

On 3 August 1976 at about 11:45, a farmer saw a cylindrical, aluminium-coloured object moving slowly across the sky and shining continuously. The observation lasted 30 minutes before it disappeared at the horizon. During neighbourhood inquiries, several people recognised the description as that of a tyre manufacturer's advertising balloon, which had been seen several times that day.
