On September 15, 2012 at around 1:35 PM, a witness is intrigued by the silent SSE-NNE movement of an elongated colored object in the sky. An amateur photographer, he has the reflex to take two photographs. With moderate wind from the Southeast to East (see Meteociel data for Nice), the witness observes and photographs to the Southeast a flying object of complex shape, violet-blue in color.
