A dark figure in Pyrénées-Orientales, France

A witness reports by telephone that he observed on July 31, 2009 around 8:47 PM, the south-to-north passage of a dark mass larger than a star. He says he took several photographs during the observation, which lasted 8 minutes. Unfortunately, no additional information was gathered, and any investigation will be impossible.
