Summary

In July 2013, a witness in Montpellier observed a bright, silent object moving rapidly across the sky. The object was described as elongated and silvery, resembling a canoe. Although the sighting lasted only 2 to 3 seconds, the calculated speed was impressive, around 270 km/h if the object was estimated to be 200 meters away. This raises questions about the actual distance of the object, as the recorded wind was light, only 18 km/h. The report concludes there is not enough information to determine what it was, hence it is classified as case "C". Without further data or additional witnesses, the most plausible explanation points to a small object carried by the wind, although the witness perceived it as being farther away.
