Case description

On 12 August 2009 at about 17:05, a driver on the D840 from Valady toward Nuces (12) briefly saw a slightly shiny, light silver-gray oval ahead, about 20° above a hill. It quickly disappeared behind the hill. No other account was collected. GEIPAN considers the observation very well described and located thanks to the witness's astronomical observing experience, giving it a good evidential basis. It was nevertheless too brief to assess its strangeness adequately. Balloons or aircraft were possible but could not be checked from the available information. GEIPAN classifies the case C for missing object data, independent accounts and corroboration.
