Case description

On 17 June 2012 at 04:00, a witness on his terrace saw approximately 10–15 transparent spheres pass silently through a clear sky for 15 seconds. They moved rapidly northward and disappeared into a cloud formation. Only 1 account was collected. The investigation report describes transparent spherical objects travelling silently at altitudes of 1,460–2,000 m. GEIPAN concludes that their characteristics, particularly their physical appearance, do not match any known natural or manufactured object. The case is classified D1: objects of unknown nature. GEIPAN considers the precise account well supported, although it comes from only 1 witness and has no photograph. The appearance is unusual, while the behaviour shows nothing extraordinary.
