Moving in formation in Nord, France

On June 17, 2012 at 4 a.m., a witness on their terrace observes for 15 seconds the silent passage of several (10/15) transparent spheres flying in the clear sky. The group quickly moves away toward the North in the direction of a cloud formation into which everything disappears. Only one testimony is collected. Given the objective elements defined in the investigation report, namely: - transparent objects, spherical in shape, moving silently at an altitude between 1460 m and 2000 m. - the absence of noise. We can conclude that the UAPs observed by the witness present characteristics, particularly physical ones, that do not resemble any known natural or manufactured object. This case is to be classified as "D1" as an observation of objects of unknown nature. This testimony is of good consistency: precise, but coming from a single witness and without photos. The observation is strange because it involves objects with an unusual appearance, although their behavior does not present any out-of-the-ordinary aspects.
