On August 12, 2009 at around 5:05 p.m., a motorist briefly observed in front of him, 20 degrees above a hill, the presence of an object that was light gray, silvery, somewhat shiny, and oval in shape. The object disappeared very quickly behind the hill. No other testimony was collected. This observation case, remarkably well described and located thanks to the witness's experience in astronomical observations, is consistent but unfortunately too short to properly measure its strangeness. Hypotheses of balloons or airships are conceivable, but not verifiable with the elements provided. This case is classified as C due to lack of data on the object, lack of independent testimonies, and lack of cross-checking.
