A witness observes the rapid and silent movement of two silver-grey colored spheres. The described characteristics of the observation correspond to those known for balloons (spheres with a metallic appearance moving silently, trajectories 'at the mercy of the wind' moving away from the witness). The observation was made on a Sunday in the early afternoon (2:15 PM local time) in the direction of a heavily populated urban area. The consistency of the case is low (single witness, brief and not very detailed observation report). The possible hypothesis of balloons or other flying objects cannot be verified due to a lack of information and the low consistency of the case.
