An account in Rhône, France

On March 6, 2014 at 8:41 a.m., a witness spots in the sky the movement of a dark object shaped like a horse that seems to spin on itself. He takes photos and a video. The witness sees the shape at 300m from his observation point. Analysis of the photos and the behavior of the object are totally compatible with a child's balloon inflated with helium, a balloon shaped like a winged horse, the kind that can easily be found: here or there. This model is particularly widespread for this "year of the horse" in the Chinese calendar. The shape is very clear in the photo, and you can even see the string that normally holds it to the ground. GEIPAN classifies this case "A" as identified: child's balloon.
