AnomalyOn May 16, 2014 at 9:15 PM, a witness took two photographs of a white spherical luminous phenomenon. The appearances and disappearances of the phenomenon intrigued him. The observation lasted 5 minutes. The witness sent us two photographs, but we did not receive the film also made during the observation. No other testimony was reported. Given the elements collected during the investigation (see the investigation report), namely the azimuth measurement of the UAP intersecting the approach path of aircraft at Nice airport, the altitude consistent with that of aircraft on approach, and the observation distance allowing only the landing light(s) to be distinguished, the case is classified as "A," certain observation of an airliner on approach to Nice airport.
