Pilot witness in Oise, France

On July 3, 2012 at around 9:15 PM, a motorist observes a phenomenon that intrigues him: two spheres separated by something resembling a rotating propeller move beneath the cloudy sky. The phenomenon is matte gray in color and is not equipped with position lights. From his vehicle, the witness, a former pilot, does not recognize the object. No other testimony will be collected. After a thorough investigation, no satisfactory hypothesis was retained (see the investigation report). In conclusion, although the witness shows great credibility, with a flawless hearing and reconstruction, this observation case lacks information and additional testimonies; it remains of medium consistency. The strangeness of the case is also medium since plausible hypotheses can be found, but they could neither be validated nor ruled out. GEIPAN classifies this case as "C" due to lack of information and cross-checking.
