Vaux-le-Penil 2014, silent flying object

Summary

On October 18, 2014, a witness and his wife observed a silent object passing above them in less than 4 seconds. The elongated shape and orange color caught their attention, as it briefly obscured the stars they were watching. Although only one testimonial was collected, the witness's drawing resembled an orange paraglider wing. This explanation was considered first, but an electric paramotor was also proposed. However, landing in a dark field with horses nearby seems risky. Despite the scenario appearing dangerous, there are no definitive arguments to rule it out. The GEIPAN classified it as "B", suggesting it could be a paraglider landing.
