A mysterious oval object seen in Angouleme

Summary

A witness reported an oval-shaped, matte brown object moving in a straight line across the sky on August 15, 2009. The phenomenon, observed from the garden of their home, was silent and traveled from east to west toward Cognac. Although the witness ruled out aircraft or helicopters, these hypotheses could not be verified with air traffic control due to the late submission of the report. Other explanations such as drones, toys, or meteors were considered but did not match the description. The case was ultimately classified as D1, meaning an unexplained phenomenon with only one witness and clearly unusual characteristics.
