AnomalyOn June 29, 1993, at around 9 a.m., two witnesses observed a circular shape with a diameter of five to six meters, with 2 tubes hanging underneath it in an inverted V shape. The craft flew horizontally in silence at about 600 meters from the ground, without giving off any smoke or trail. The craft then turned to climb vertically. One of the witnesses followed the ascent with binoculars until it disappeared into a cirrus cloud, which led to an estimated altitude of about 10,000 meters. In the surrounding area, military personnel were on maneuvers, but the officer present did not observe the phenomenon, which does not appear to have any relation to the military maneuvers. After investigation, including with model airplane clubs, the phenomenon could not be identified.
