AnomalyGEIPAN was contacted by a witness about a singular object observed in the sky over Thônes (74) during the Saint-Maurice agricultural fair on September 26, 2009. The object appeared to rotate on itself. The witness attached two photographs of the object to his email, but did not fill out a ground questionnaire, nor did he respond to requests for details. He did not specify whether other witnesses saw the phenomenon. This case is strange only because of the object's shape: its movement appears to be that of a balloon, therefore an object "lighter than air." The testimony is unfortunately too insubstantial to allow a solid conclusion, unless additional details about the observation are obtained. This case is classified as C due to lack of information.
