A triangle shape in Loir-et-Cher, France
Recent report of an old observation made on July 23, 1965, around 6 p.m. A metallic-looking triangular object is motionless in the sky and strongly reflects sunlight.
This case of observation by multiple witnesses of a luminous fixed object in the evening sky has all the characteristics of a tetrahedral stratospheric weather balloon.
The luminous and metallic appearance is characteristic, the apparent motionlessness is not rare, their very high altitude (up to 40 km) makes movements appear very slow, and winds at that altitude are highly variable. The altitude calculation made by the witness is relevant; it is indeed consistent with this weather balloon hypothesis, which reflected sunlight up to 40 minutes after sunset.
That evening, the obvious presence of the planet Venus is noted, which was brilliant in the west shortly after sunset. It is surprising that the witnesses do not mention it; but it was much further west and lower than the observed phenomenon.
GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of a stratospheric balloon.

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
