On June 30, 2013 at 10:33 a.m., a witness in the right rear of a car noticed the presence in the sky of a white and gray triangle through the side window. He took a photograph with his smartphone a few seconds later at the moment the car was passing along a row of trees bordering the road. Only one testimony was collected. The strangeness of this case is low. The hypothesis of an optical reflection phenomenon was put forward from the start of the investigation, and it was shown to be probable (see the investigation report). The testimony is moderately consistent, with relatively little data provided by the witness that could be used, but this may be caused both by the brevity of the observation and by the young age of the witness. However, there is a photograph that could be analyzed and allows the hypothesis to be supported with relative certainty. This case is to be classified as "A," as an optical reflection phenomenon in a car window.
