An account in Var, France

On August 23, 2012 at around 9:15 PM, three people noticed in the sky above the houses the presence of a dark rectangular object moving slowly from South to North. No noise was heard during the observation, which lasted about 3 minutes. No other testimony will be reported to GEIPAN concerning this phenomenon. According to the in-depth investigation, the report of which is attached, the hypothesis retained is that these people probably saw a kite. The owner and his kite have not been found to this day. This case is classified "B".
