A witness contacts GEIPAN on March 31, 2009, about an observation of a yellow ball observed on Sunday, March 22, 2009, and another similar observation on October 13, 2009. These two observations were analyzed together at GEIPAN but handled in two separate files (see the investigation report).

Thanks to new technical means (software) and the investigation experience acquired over all these recent years, this re-examination sometimes leads to new remarks or even a change of classif…
