Alpes-Maritimes, France · 2009-06-07 · from the GEIPAN archive
The witness takes several photos on June 7, 2009 at 1:39 PM on the Caussol plateau. It is only afterwards that he notices, on the left edge of one photograph, a ring-shaped form, silver in color. The suspicious object, located at the top left of the photo, was not seen by the witness. The blurry shape clearly suggests an insect in flight (body and wings visible), probably very close to the lens. The landscape and the season are favorable to insects. GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable photograph of a small insect in flight.
