Sighting in Capestang, April 8, 2015

At about 7:15 p.m., a witness sitting on a sofa beneath a roof window saw a bright white flying object go past. It had no visible logo and its wings were V-shaped. It first flew in a curve, then climbed vertically at great speed and looked like a white streak in the clear sky, before disappearing from the witness's view.

The sighting lasted about one minute, long enough for the witness to draw a sketch of the object. According to GEIPAN, the shape described and the way the object behaved are consistent with a radio-controlled model aircraft of the flying-wing type. The witness lived less than 150 m from a sports area fairly well suited to model aircraft flying, so within range of a radio transmitter and in line of sight, and a Wednesday late afternoon is a fairly favourable time for it. This could not be verified. GEIPAN classified the case as B: a probable radio-controlled model aircraft.
