Black object observation in Chatenay-Malabry

Summary

A witness reported in April 2006, around 10 AM, the presence of a black object in the sky. The object moved in a straight line, silently and at a constant speed, disappearing on the horizon. It was described as a "oil barrel" or a "black cabin," with a tonneled appearance and low altitude. Although the possibility of a solar balloon was considered, the lack of an exact date and additional details made confirmation difficult. The GEIPAN classified this case as "C" due to lack of information.

The object's description and slow movement generated some confusion. Its dark appearance and straight trajectory didn't easily match conventional objects. Despite speculations, the official classification reflected the uncertainty. Reports like this, though incomplete, provide valuable data for the analysis of unexplained aerial phenomena.
