On October 1, 2011 at 8:33 PM, a witness observed for 30 seconds the silent passage in the sky of a luminous circular object. The observed direction of travel, oriented from East Southeast toward West Northwest, is consistent with the wind direction. However, the description of the UAP, shaped like a perfect disc, brownish in color with a slightly luminous or lighter circle at its center, does not match any of the commonly observed aerostats (Thai lanterns or balloons). Finally, the relative speed of the movement (30 seconds of observation before the UAP was obscured by buildings) leads us to think that the object was moving faster than the wind (in similar conditions, observations of Thai lanterns last at least one minute). Of medium strangeness given the originality of the observed object, and of relatively good consistency, this observation case is provisionally classified as C due to a lack of corroborating data. This type of observation leaves few leads to investigate; an on-site inquiry would yield little information.
