An account in Haute-Garonne, France

On August 14, 2012 at 12:00, a motorist notices in the sky the presence of a luminous object that intrigues him. The object, according to the witness, seems to have articulated wings and flashing lights. He films the phenomenon and calls his wife, who also notices the presence of the object in the sky. A third witness also sees the UAP. T1's testimony is very precise and of good quality. The duration of the observation is about 3 minutes. The three witnesses do not describe exactly the same thing, which may seem perfectly normal for witnesses T2 and T3, who see the UAP fairly far away and at different times. There is therefore no doubt about the reality of this phenomenon, which has all the characteristics of a festive helium-filled balloon, which may have escaped from its owner. GEIPAN classifies this case as "B" – probable observation of a festive helium-filled balloon.
