An account in Is�re, France

The witness films a lunar eclipse on June 15, 2011 and notices the presence of three luminous phenomena that intrigue him. The witness also notices afterward, on the footage of his video, a fourth phenomenon. The videos and photos do not clearly match the testimony. The first appearance of the phenomenon at 3'48 corresponds to a "zoom-out" that brings into the frame a luminous point that was not there in "narrow field" mode. One then observes the "coming back down" of the luminous point when the zoom factor increases again. It is probably a light source near the ground (e.g., a nearby streetlamp). At 4'02, one sees another luminous point appear below the Moon: it is clearly a streetlamp, part of whose base is visible. (The attached ephemeris indeed indicate that the Moon was only 15° in elevation, thus quite low on the horizon, about 2 hours after its rise). The witness seems to have observed these phenomena only through the camcorder's viewfinder, then afterward during video editing; the zoom/zoom-out operations will have misled him. The photo showing two luminous "L" shapes corresponds to a long-exposure photo (camera movement by the operator) of 2 luminous points, probably the same 2 sources that exposed the video. GEIPAN classifies this case "B": indirect observation, via video and photo, of streetlamps on the ground.
