In September 1998, several witnesses in Voreppe (France) saw a circular object above a tree. Descriptions varied: colors, sizes, and the presence of legs. Initially stationary, the object then moved slowly before disappearing. One witness managed to film it for a few minutes. A few days later, a father told authorities that a helium balloon shaped like a ladybug, untied from his son's wrist, had floated away in the same area and at the same time the object was seen. This suggests a terrestrial explanation, though initial reports didn't mention the balloon.
