An account in H�rault, France

On April 23, 2009, the mayor of a small town handed over to the gendarmerie a CD and a letter addressed to the town hall of his village. The CD contained two photographs taken on July 27, 2008, by a vacationer passing through the region. The presence of a black spot in the landscape was noted on one of the photos. No resident of the town reported any particular observation on that day. The author of the photographs came forward to the gendarmerie on August 11, 2009, to recount an observation made during his vacation on July 27, 2008, at 10:45 a.m., and the discovery of a sphere and a disc on photographs taken on that date. The witness stated that he had noticed nothing unusual while taking his photos that day. Without direct visual sighting at the time the photos were taken, and without any other eyewitness account or information, any investigation into this phenomenon is difficult, if not impossible.
