An account in Gard, France

On May 6, 2015 at around 9 p.m., a witness is intrigued by trails in the sky. He takes photographs. Only one testimony is reported. Given the elements collected, namely the appearance of the phenomenon consistent with that of many other examples of condensation trails created by airliners and lit by the setting sun in a favorable atmospheric layer, and the optical effect due to perspective, we can conclude that the phenomena observed by the witness are most certainly persistent condensation trails created by airliners (see the investigation report). This testimony is of very good consistency: precise and accompanied by numerous photos, but coming from a single witness. The observation is very little strange because the UAPs are immediately characterizable. This case is classified as "A" as a certain observation of aircraft condensation trails.
