An open record of things people cannot explain

Photographed in Meurthe-et-Moselle, France

On May 10 at around 11 p.m., a witness observed from her garden a red-colored object in a clear, starry sky. The object moved rapidly from south to west. The witness went back inside to get her camera. In the meantime, the object disappeared, but the witness took a photograph anyway, and the next day she could see a white object near a star in it. The information provided by the single witness seemed contradictory and lacking in precision (no statement made to the gendarmerie and no observation questionnaire filled out), so the investigation remained difficult and no conclusions could be reached.
