Sighting in Jussy, August 23, 2009
Aisne, Hauts-de-France, France
Sighting on August 23, 2009 in Jussy (Aisne, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
A witness saw two silvery-grey balls with a metallic look move quickly and without any noise. The sighting took place on a Sunday, at about 2:15 p.m. local time, looking toward a densely populated urban area. The two objects moved away from the witness along paths that seemed to follow the wind.
GEIPAN noted that these features match what is known of balloons. However, the possibility of balloons or other flying objects could not be checked. The case rests on a single witness whose account is brief and lacks detail, and there is little other information. Its consistency is therefore low, which is why it was classified C, meaning the data are insufficient.
