A triangle shape in Is�re, France
A witness reported in 2011 an old sighting. He does not remember the exact year and month (between 1979 and 1980, between mid-July and mid-August, in the late afternoon). The date of the case is given arbitrarily. Observing the landscape with an astronomical telescope, the witness is intrigued by a motionless object, triangular in shape, light rusty orange in color. The object is quickly hidden by mist and a cloud. The observation lasted less than 30 seconds. The triangular shape of the object and its slight movement suggest a tetrahedral balloon. Some weather balloons are brown-orange in color; the witness describes it as rusty in color. But the details of the object's surface described by the witness do not fit well with this hypothesis. Since the exact date is not known, it is not possible to check winds or balloon launches by Météo-France or the CNES. For lack of precise information, this case is classified "C".

Has this happened to you?
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.
