An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Somme, France

On July 4, 2010, a witness filmed a beach from his vehicle parked facing the sea. The next day he discovered details on his film that he had not seen when filming the day before. The witness does not want his film to be posted online. The video and photos submitted mix many standard details (low-quality video taken with a mobile phone partly through a car windshield facing the sun, hence multiple reflections and artifacts, a very blurry dark spot that could classically be explained as an insect near the lens, various aircraft contrail traces). Furthermore, the witness saw nothing on site and describes no particular phenomenon to analyze, but several 'supposed' phenomena and trajectories after the fact. These 'observations' with no degree of strangeness are classified as C because they are unexploitable.
