Gironde, France · 2009-05-12 · from the GEIPAN archive
A witness contacts GEIPAN on January 10, 2010 about a photograph taken on May 12, 2009 showing 7 black dots that the witness cannot identify. Of low strangeness and little substance, this case of observation without direct observation at the time the photo was taken has all the characteristics of a misidentification with a flight of insects or possibly birds. Verification of civil and military air traffic therefore does not seem necessary; it is in any case difficult more than a month after the facts. This case is classified B: spots from insects or birds on the photograph.
