On February 2, 2012 at 12:45 AM, several people were intrigued by a loud dull noise that seemed to come from a dark mass with no lights at all, moving slowly and at low altitude in the sky. The main testimony turns out to match the observation of a relatively conventional motorized flying craft, but unlit, possibly an unauthorized flight (airship, ultralight, or possibly helicopter) or a military exercise. (see investigation report) This case is classified "B": probable observation of an unlit aircraft.
