The observation occurred on February 3, 2019, in the late morning, while a witness was walking across fields.
Claim #14795 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“On February 3, 2019, in the late morning, a witness walking across fields observed a gray mass resembling a small cloud beneath the cloud cover.”

The observed gray mass moved very quickly despite light wind, changed altitude, disappeared into clouds, performed movements, and then disappeared along a descending trajectory.
Claim #14796 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“This “small cloud” moved very quickly despite the light wind. What caught the witness’s attention was that the UAP suddenly changed altitude until disappearing into the clouds, then performed movements before disappearing along a descending trajectory.”

The witness filmed the observation with a mobile phone, and only one report was collected.
Claim #14797 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“The witness had time to film it with a mobile phone. Only one report was collected.”

The source identifies several apparent unusual features, including a final change of shape, a nonlinear trajectory, entry into clouds, a dive toward the ground, and silence.
Claim #14798 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“The observation presents several apparent unusual features: a final change of shape, a nonlinear trajectory, entry into the clouds, a dive toward the ground, and silence.”

The shape, dark appearance, trajectory, and final dive of the UAP strongly suggest a flock of birds in flight that accounts for all aspects of the observation.
Claim #14799 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“However, the shape of the UAP, its dark appearance, its trajectory, and its final dive toward the ground strongly suggest the explanatory hypothesis of a flock of birds in flight, which accounts for all aspects of the observation (see the investigation report).”

The source states that passage through the clouds for a few seconds was not exceptional because the low cloud ceiling was about 500 meters above the ground.
Claim #14800 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“The UAP’s passage through the clouds for a few seconds is not exceptional, given that the low cloud ceiling was only about 500 meters above the ground.”

The source assesses that a flock of birds, particularly starlings, very likely passed beneath the clouds before diving toward the ground upon seeing food or a place to rest.
Claim #14801 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“It is therefore very likely that a flock of birds—particularly starlings—passed just beneath the clouds before diving toward the ground upon seeing a source of food or a place to rest.”

GEIPAN classifies the case as A, meaning a very highly probable observation of a flock of birds in flight.
Claim #14802 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“GEIPAN classifies this case as “A,” as a very highly probable observation of a flock of birds in flight.”

The case record lists the phenomenon type as Bird and the classification as A.
Claim #14803 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
