Residue in Marne, France
On May 30, 2012, a witness observed on a plot of woodland that belongs to him that a phenomenon of flattened grass had appeared. Over a diameter of about 4 meters, the grass is flattened and slightly yellowed, and no trace around it suggests that an animal or a vehicle could have caused it. Given the objective elements collected, namely:
- A single photograph taken by the witness.
- No measurements or careful inspection of the trace and its surroundings. The hypothesis of a vortex created by a local wind phenomenon remains the least improbable, but could not be confirmed by relevant weather data or by the observation of other local disturbances. We can conclude that, despite the many hypotheses developed, none is satisfactory in light of the quantifiable and usable data provided by examination of the photograph and the testimony. This testimony is of rather average consistency: fairly precise, but coming from a single witness, with a single photograph and without examination of the site. The observation is quite strange because it involves a phenomenon that seems a priori out of the ordinary. This case is classified as "C" as a phenomenon not identifiable as it stands, the lack of evidence not allowing a solid opinion to be established.
