An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Haute-Garonne, France

On the last Wednesday of January 1977, a witness observed from the first floor of a dwelling a flying object in the sky at an altitude of 500 m. This object, shaped like a rugby ball, was imposing and resembled an airship. It was moving at a speed of 100 to 150 km/h against the wind. Its color was matte metallic gray. No noise was heard by the witness. This very late testimony (09/07/2007) does not allow for a serious investigation that could validate or invalidate certain hypotheses such as the passage of a balloon.
