A triangle shape in Val-de-Marne, France

On July 9, 2012 between 9:30 PM and 9:50 PM, a witness is intrigued by the observation of an object in the sky. A shape described as both rounded and triangular moves without noise before disappearing into a cloud. The vertical movement of the object (local wind weak: see weather), its reflection, its shape (see example of balloon in appendix) clearly suggest a festive balloon inflated with helium. GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of a festive balloon.
