At around 10 p.m., several witnesses noticed a spherical glow whose apparent size was similar to that of a hot-air balloon. The sighting lasted about thirty seconds. The object then vanished quickly, accompanied by a high-pitched whistling sound.
The GEIPAN investigation could not gather any further information about the sighting. Because the available data were insufficient, the case was classified C, and no explanation could be established.
