The witness on a ski lift (Bauge slope) notices at the zenith the slow movement across the sky of a cigar-shaped object, dull grey in color, following a straight NO-SO trajectory. This same observation is made twice over a period of 30 minutes. No other testimony is collected. We have here two observations made within half an hour and under strictly identical conditions. The presence of an airliner may correspond to the overall observation for two major reasons: 1-The witness says he did not see this plane, even though it was perfectly within his field of vision. 2-The description matches on every point: shape, color, movement. However, the second observation could not be characterized. If we refer to the witness's time data, the Airbus A-320 had logically already passed, and could not be in the same place as the previous one; it may be a second plane, possibly military (therefore not tracked by Flightradar24) on the same airway. After investigation, in view of the elements collected, the field trips made, the hearing of the witness, the search for other witnesses via the press, this case is classified as B: probable observations of aircraft.
