On April 8, 2015 at around 7:15 PM, a witness seated on a sofa under a skylight observed the passage of a bright white flying object, with no visible logo. The object with V-shaped wings made a curve, then climbed vertically very quickly and took on the appearance of a white line in the clear sky. It then disappeared from the witness's view. The observation lasted one minute, which allowed the witness to make a sketch of the observed object. The witness's description, the shape described, and the behavior suggest a remote-controlled model aircraft, of the flying wing type (see an example of this kind, of the shape described by the witness, in the video of remote-controlled flying wing model aircraft with astonishing flight performance). The witness lives less than 150 m from a sports area, fairly suitable for model aircraft flying, therefore within range of a radio transmitter, and in line of sight; Wednesday in the late afternoon is a fairly favorable time. Without being able to verify this information, GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of a remote-controlled model aircraft.
