A triangle shape in Haute-Garonne, France

On Wednesday, August 24, 2011 at around 3:32 a.m., a witness observed from his home the silent passage of a flying craft. The triangular shape and the lighting under the craft surprised the witness. The phenomenon was quickly hidden by the urban landscape. After checking with civil aviation and the CNOA for the absence of radar traces, Geipan went to interview the witness about this observation. The interview confirmed the credibility of the testimony, but without finding any proof or new element. Due to the absence of a convincing hypothesis, Geipan classifies this case as D1: Unidentified phenomenon but of low consistency: a single witness, no recorded trace.
