An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Alpes-Maritimes, France

The witness observes, from a terrace on the 4th floor, a red object resembling a bell, apparently fitted with portholes and moving at constant speed and direction. Only one testimony is collected. This testimony lacks information. The free statement is brief, and key questions about the position in the sky are answered with a question mark. The direction of travel is not indicated, but the constant trajectory may suggest a light, non-luminous object (plastic or fabric) carried by the wind, even if it presents an appearance of a "bell with portholes around its perimeter." This case is classified as C due to lack of information.
