Photographed in Hautes-Alpes, France
A witness sends us one of their photographs in which they are surprised to notice the presence of an element they did not see at the time the photo was taken.
This photo, with no direct observation, which contains a gray trail following a bright point, is probably the result of an object passing quickly very close to the lens. Indeed, this object is very blurry.
It is probably an insect lit for a moment by the camera's flash (the EXIF auxiliary data indicate that the flash was triggered). This case is classified "B": probable photograph of an insect, with flash.
