A dark figure in Paris, France
On July 30, 2008 at around 10:05 PM, two people from their apartment on the 6th floor observe to the left of the Eiffel Tower an unusual object: a dark mass of lenticular shape, first static then moving in the direction of Charles De Gaulle airport, merging into the horizon before disappearing in a bright flash. The witness will film the sighting a first time at 10:05 PM, then at 10:08 PM.
Of low to even medium strangeness, and of good consistency due to the video, this observation case clearly suggests a small balloon accidentally released into the Parisian sky, especially by its movement, entirely consistent with an object carried by the wind.
Although the testimony does not fully match this hypothesis (flash), this case is classified as B: probable observation of a balloon.
