Finistère, France · 2007-04-20 · from the GEIPAN archive
On April 20, 2007, a witness takes photos of a regatta taking place in the Brest roadstead. Afterward, on certain shots, he notices spots he cannot explain. In the absence of visual observations at the time the photos were taken, analysis of this type of photograph is very difficult. Moreover, the images themselves are not very informative, and no other testimony of a similar sighting on the same day in that place has been reported. Since the Brest roadstead is known for the presence of many birds, it is highly likely that this witness photographed the passage of birds not noticed at the time the photos were taken.
