Case description

On 20 November 2011 at 15:20, a witness saw a white sphere move rapidly through a clear sky, apparently “rushing toward an airliner.” It disappeared at the horizon after 2–3 minutes. No other account was reported. Radar tracks requested from air traffic control showed the airliners the witness mentioned, but no identification of the UAP. Investigators checked for a strong Iridium satellite flash, sometimes visible by day, but none occurred at Ourouer-les-Bourdelins that afternoon. No other common misidentification seemed to fit. The case has low strangeness and weak evidential support because its trajectory is insufficiently described. Without independent accounts or corroboration, it can only be classified C.
