A witness reports two observations. On holiday in the Aude region around July 22, 2009, at around 11 p.m. (the witness does not remember the exact date), he observes in the sky the movement from West to East of a very bright, slightly oval sphere. Suddenly changing trajectory, the phenomenon disappears into space. The possible hypotheses of ball lightning or meteors could not be verified due to uncertainties about the exact date and time of the observation. A 'meteor' activity occurred on 07/25/2009 at around 11:45 p.m. local time but does not seem to match the observation. On September 24, 2009, at 7:55 a.m. at his home, this witness spots the N-S movement of a flying object in the sky that intrigues him. The object disappears quickly. A probable hypothesis would be the observation of an aircraft lit by the rising sun. These observation cases are classified "C" due to lack of precision and information.
On August 20, 2012 between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m., two witnesses observe in the sky the silent N-S passage of a very bright orange object. From the object seen through binoculars, the witnesses…
