Black Disc Observed in Jablines

Summary

On July 27, 2014, a witness in Jablines, France, reported seeing a black disc-shaped object. Initially, they observed a commercial airplane, followed by a smaller, black object moving in the opposite direction and at a slower speed. The object changed shape from a disc to an oval and then flattened completely as it moved away. At first, the straight-line trajectory of a dark object across the sky suggested a weather balloon, but meteorological data pointed to a powered object, possibly a small drone, a helicopter, or a distant airplane. However, none of these hypotheses could be confirmed. The GEIPAN classified the case as "C" due to a lack of additional information or corroboration. Interestingly, the witness initially mentioned the wrong date, but after verification, it was confirmed that the observation took place on July 27, matching the described weather conditions.
