An account in Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France

On Sunday, September 22, 2013 at 7:45 a.m., a witness walking to his workplace is intrigued by the presence in the sky of a kind of very thin and long cylinder, moving faster than a plane seen previously. The object disappears in the sky toward the southwest. Given the elements defined in the report, namely the altitude and azimuth of the UAP consistent with those of the planes present in the area at the time of observation, and the appearance consistent with that of an aircraft lit by the rising sun, we can conclude that the UAP observed by the witness is probably a passenger plane flying at a medium altitude and lit by the rising sun. This testimony is of good consistency: fairly precise but coming from a single witness and without photos. The observation is not very strange, the UAP being simply observed under particular conditions that are easily explainable. This case is classified as "B" as an observation of a passenger plane at sunrise: the testimony is not precise enough to be able to exactly identify the plane observed, among the multiplicity of planes at that moment.
