An open record of things people cannot explain

Haute-Garonne, France · 2009-06-03 · from the GEIPAN archive

Photographed in Haute-Garonne, France

Around 7 p.m. in the evening of June 3 or 4, 2009 (the witness does not remember the exact date), a photography enthusiast takes a photo of the sky in which one can see the Moon and the white trail of an airplane. While reviewing his photo two days later, he notices something unusual on the photograph without having seen it at the time the photo was taken. This person photographed a passenger plane moving, hence the impression of "parallel bars" described by the witness. In comparison, the jet trails are objects that appear motionless.
