Hovering in Haute-Garonne, France

On July 9, 2015 at 5:30 PM, a witness in their garden sees a white spherical object hovering. The sphere moves forward, backward, goes right, left, then very quickly takes a straight upward trajectory and disappears into the sky. The observation lasted 3 minutes. No noise is heard. Only one testimony is reported. Upon reading this observation report, GEIPAN thought of a child's balloon, first tethered, subject to the whims of the wind, or to the will of its owner, then released voluntarily or not. This rather unusual hypothesis could fit the observation, but cannot be confirmed, in the absence of photo, video, or other testimonies. The Météociel data indicates at Blagnac a sustained northwest wind. As a result, despite a plausible hypothesis, GEIPAN classifies this case as "C" due to lack of information and cross-checking.
