AnomalyA witness contacted GEIPAN by email about an observation of an object in the sky over Féchain on Friday, August 15, 2008, around 6:30 PM. He attached three photographs but produced no other document to clarify his observation. No other testimony was collected about this phenomenon. This observation case is in all respects compatible with the observation of a balloon. GEIPAN therefore classifies it as B, as the probable observation of a balloon, and not as A, because it cannot prove its exact origin.
