AnomalyA witness observes on September 26, 2009 at 11:11 a.m. a very bright ball of silver color that moves very slowly horizontally in the sky. It disappears instantly. This observation is probably that of a balloon lit by the sun. The wind being calm, it could be a child's or fairground balloon relatively close that suddenly bursts, or a distant weather balloon high in the sky. This case is classified B as the probable observation of a balloon lit by the sun.
