A witness reports that upon discovering her photos taken at the edge of a beach on April 23, 2008, around 4:15 p.m., she notices the presence of spots she cannot explain. It is always difficult to analyze photos on which unexplained spots appear without visual observation to confirm them. Nevertheless, in this case, they are probably birds that passed quickly through the camera's field of view. This is particularly obvious in the first photo, on which one can easily make out the body and the wings; it is less obvious in the second, but by analogy it is highly probable that it is the same phenomenon. After publication of this observation on the site and following a message from a new witness, the object in the second photo is clearly identified as a frisbee (witness photo2 retouched100826), also visible in the hands of a thrower in the updated photo 1 (witness photo1 retouched100826). This case therefore consists of the observation of two different objects (probable observation of a bird in photo 1 and of a frisbee in photo 2): the classification as case B remains unchanged in relation to the probable observation of a bird in photo 1.
A witness sends us a photograph on which the presence of an object is noted that the witness did not see when the photograph was taken. No precise date is given by the witness (the witness m…
