An account in Var, France

On Thursday, February 19, 2015, at around 2:30–3:00 PM, a motorist, while driving, observes an object resembling an airliner, but larger, and seeming to fly much lower. The object is uniformly white and seems motionless. It suddenly disappears. This brief observation of a bright white X-shaped form may have several origins: - An airplane, as the witness thinks, but in a highly improbable position, and the disappearance of the object remains difficult to explain. There is indeed an air corridor in the direction indicated by the witness, but planes presumably fly at an altitude such that the witness would not have seen it that large. GEIPAN processed this observation too late to be able to verify the presence of an airplane in the witness's field of view. - A small temporary cloud, made very bright by the sun. - A reflection of a white or reflective object placed inside the car's cabin, temporarily lit by the sun depending on the car's orientation. This last hypothesis would well explain the motionlessness and then the disappearance of the phenomenon. Unable to validate any of these hypotheses, and lacking cross-checks or feasible investigations, GEIPAN classifies this case as "C" due to lack of information. This case is not very strange because it is a distant phenomenon, whose behavior is close to known phenomena; it is not very substantial because it is based on a single human testimony, brief, and without photographs.
