On July 31, 2047 at 8:40 p.m., a witness and his family observed a dark-colored object the size of an airliner in a clear sky. It moved silently from east to west, slowly, oscillating and appearing to rotate on itself. Flashes of light were seen. No trail, no halo was observed. Only one testimony was collected. This testimony is of good consistency: precise, coming from three witnesses who knew each other and spoke independently; no photo was taken. The observation is strange because it involves an object with an unusual appearance and atypical behavior. However, its characteristics in terms of speed, size, shape, color, and trajectory present no aspects out of the ordinary that could not be explained. Given the objective elements collected in the investigation report, this case is classified as "B" as a probable observation of a wind-borne object.
