An account in Gers, France

A witness reports an observation made on January 21, 2010, at around 5:15 p.m. While driving on national road 524 toward Eauze, he spots above a hill a spherical object of metallic appearance, dark gray in color, which seems to be made up of hexagons. The object appears stationary but is animated by oscillations from right to left. It disappears instantly after 10 to 15 seconds of observation. No other testimony will be collected. This case is of medium to high strangeness due to the singular appearance of the object and its instantaneous disappearance. However, given the imprecision of the exact location of observation, the very short duration of observation, and the uniqueness of the testimony, this case proves to be of medium to low consistency. This case is classified as C due to lack of information and cross-checking.
