Summary

A witness in Drôme observed a black rectangular object in May 2009. The case reached the GEIPAN almost a year later, when the witness contacted them by email after watching a TV report on UFOs. Although the object disappeared as it ascended, the account lacked photos or additional data. The GEIPAN considered it could be an unusual-shaped balloon, but the lack of weather data and other records prevented confirmation. The final classification was "C" due to insufficient information.
