Police witness in Dordogne, France

A witness reports their filmed observations to us. These are two observations (on 27/10/2009 and 13/11/2009) made by the same witness from the same location. Both observations describe white threads in the sky (airplane contrails and/or atmospheric trails) and the observation of 'black balls' crossing the sky at high speed (flights of birds or insects in the foreground of the film sent by the witness to Geipan). In the absence of an official police report and other investigative elements, these two cases are classified as B, as the probable observation of completely natural phenomena.
