An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Tarn, France

A witness reported in 2008 an observation made on October 5, 2001: the witness, while hunting, observed for a few minutes in the sky the presence of a long transparent tube that undulated with the wind. Thinking at first it was an optical effect, the intrigued witness saw the object suddenly disappear. No other testimony was collected on this phenomenon. The described object suggests a tubular thermal (solar) balloon. But for lack of precise information, this case is classified "C".
