Case description

On 30 August 2008 around 19:50, a witness in Ablis photographed and filmed an unidentified flying object’s movements. The film was never sent to GEIPAN. After local inquiries, the gendarmerie identified a kite. Kite enthusiasts regularly used the municipal sports ground, and several witnesses confirmed that they were flying kites that day. One specifically reported a kite very high in the sky.
