Police witness in Landes, France
On August 4, 2007, around 2:00 p.m., a family observes the movements of a small shiny sphere moving at variable speeds and changing direction. The strangeness level of the observation is low: a large proportion of the described characteristics of the phenomenon match those of known phenomena (balloon). The proposed interpretation is plausible to explain the observation. Although coming from a single testimony (questionnaire without a police report), the quantity and quality of the information describing the observation are objective and reliable. The case is classified as B, as the very likely observation of a balloon.
