An account in Yvelines, France

After acquiring a new camcorder, a private individual does some tests by filming a helicopter. Upon viewing, he notices the presence of a gray sphere throughout the entire shot. Unfortunately, the witness did not wish for his film to be broadcast, although this document is an excellent example of the genre. This video shows, almost certainly, a very small object passing very close to the lens, without necessarily being noticed by the operator, most likely an insect or a bird. This kind of document (photo or video) is encountered fairly often, since the appearance of digital devices and especially compacts, whose very short focal length means that such small objects are not completely blurred and therefore "diluted" into the landscape, as they would be in film photography or classic video.
