Photographed in Gard, France

A witness reports an observation made from a vehicle: traveling between Nîmes and Russan in the Gard department, she saw several times a white object, resembling a hot-air balloon or a weather balloon, moving in the sky on Friday, September 4, 2009, between 8:00 and 8:30 in the morning. Although a photograph was taken by the witness and despite our follow-ups, no details will be provided, making any investigation impossible due to lack of information.
