Case description
On 23 April 2009, the mayor of a small commune in Hérault delivered to the gendarmerie a CD and a letter that had been sent to the village town hall. The CD contained 2 photographs taken on 27 July 2008 by a holidaymaker passing through the area. A black spot could be seen in the landscape in one photograph. No resident had reported any unusual sighting that day. The photographer went to the gendarmerie on 11 August 2009 to describe the event dated 27 July 2008 at 10:45 and the discovery of a sphere and a disk in photographs taken then. He specified that he had noticed nothing unusual while taking them. The short summary also refers to a luminous phenomenon and circular shapes present in photographs without direct visual observation. With no direct sighting at the time of photography, no other witness account and no further information, the source considers investigation difficult or even impossible.
