On November 12, 2009, a witness notices that a room in their home is lit up and that the source seems to come from an oval-shaped object floating in the air in line with electrical pylons. The observation lasts 20 seconds and no noise is heard. No other testimony will be reported. The additional investigation provided by the mandated IPN reports work carried out in November 2009 on the EDF pylon in the direction of the observation and the presence nearby of a military balloon with powerful lighting. These elements make it possible to find a rational explanation for this observation, to conclude the investigation, and to close the case. This case, which at first seemed to present a certain level of strangeness, is probably explained by the observation of a balloon used by the military, a balloon that was powerfully lit at the time of the observation.
