AIX-LES-BAINS (73) --.07.2011

An account received on 1 October 2014 describes a sighting in June or July 2011 at 18:30, without an exact day and with the month uncertain. A witness saw a very blurry cluster of black balls, apparently rotating, at an estimated altitude no higher than 1,000 m. A cluster of balloons accidentally released fits. Haze or slight glare from backlighting could explain the blurred outline. Without a precise date, GEIPAN could not compare movement with local wind or seek a release source and other witnesses. The case is classified C: insufficient information because the date is unknown.
