On April 17, 2011 at around 8:30 PM, a witness hears a dull turbine sound coming from the sky and sees in the air an object moving at high speed and passing just above the ridge of the roof of his home in a straight trajectory. The described object is cylindrical in shape, 80 cm long and 20 to 30 cm wide. Its color is black, and no odor or light is noticed. The object moves away in the direction of the village. The investigation conducted by an IPN (unidentified aerospace phenomenon investigator) found no coherent hypothesis, although the object resembles a drone, but of an unknown model. The witness described it to the Gendarmerie and to the IPN, on several occasions, without distorting the account, which could be considered a UAP. This case is classified D1: unidentified. It should nevertheless be noted, on the one hand, the relative weakness of the file: single testimony, very brief observation, without photo or video, and on the other hand, the craft's performance is not very far from known craft.
