On 11 January 1979 at 16:35 in Aix-en-Provence (13), 2 witnesses saw about 15 flying objects, apparently 60–80 cm in size. Metallic-looking, they swirled and flashed as they reflected the setting Sun, moving slowly and silently southeast until they disappeared. A weather balloon had been launched at noon that day. The source considers the objects probably scraps of its gondola or envelope.
