Case description

On 9 July 2012 between 21:30 and 21:50, a witness saw an intriguing object described as both rounded and triangular, reflecting sunlight. It moved silently before disappearing into a cloud. Its vertical movement in light local winds, reflections and shape strongly suggested a helium-filled party balloon (see weather record and balloon example in the appendix). GEIPAN classified the case B as a probable party balloon sighting.
