Summary

In 1996, a driver and his daughter observed an unusual aerial phenomenon in the Oise region of France. Around 7:00 PM, they saw a white halo measuring approximately 80 cm by 40 cm moving at a constant speed just 1.5 meters above the ground. What stood out was the object’s trajectory: it moved in straight segments and made a sudden turn westward, all without producing any sound. The observation lasted about a minute, but no other witnesses reported the event. Due to its age, further investigation is difficult or even impossible.

The testimony was provided in 2009, so the exact date of the event is unknown, only that it occurred about two years before that. Despite the lack of precise details, the case was classified by the GEIPAN as category C, suggesting it was not dismissed as a conventional phenomenon. However, the object’s silent and unusual movement raises questions about its nature.
