AnomalyOn June 15, 2015, at around 11:15 PM, a witness observes and films a bright star in the northwest direction in the sky but remains intrigued by a sphere placed in front of the star. No other testimony is collected. This testimony is of fairly good consistency: although not very precise and coming from a single witness, it is accompanied by two usable videos. The only hypothesis considered is that of confusion with an optical defect on the defocused image of the planet Venus, captured with a strong zoom (see the investigation report). Given the elements collected, this case is classified as "A" as an observation of the planet Venus with a camcorder equipped with a strong zoom, with a shifted focus causing an artifact in the image.
