ALSACAT-2015-04-10-TOURDUCLIMONT-1
"Nyvek", 26, passionate about photography, reported on April 11, 2015, on the ufology forum Les Mystères des OVNIS, that during a hike at the Tour du Climont, at more than 900m altitude on the mountain of the same name, he had taken some pictures with his Hybrid camera, a Samsung NX3000 equipped with its 16-50mm.
When editing the photos with the "Lightroom" software, he "could see a kind of black disc in the sky in the distance", which is not present on a similar photo taken exactly 16 seconds before.
He had already had, on March 23 at 2:59 pm, in Colroy-La-Roche in Alsace, during a shooting "in bracketed mode (3 photos in a extremely fast series to achieve HDR)", a similar phenomenon : "On the 1st photo a black spot appears in the distance in the sky, and on the second, taken 2s later, there is nothing..."
As it was explained to him on the Web board, one does not count any more cases of this kind (called "BLURFO" or "suprise-photo" by the ufologists): the "witness" saw nothing at all at the time of the shooting, these are small more or less clear "things" that he finds in his photos afterwards by looking at them on a screen.
These are almost always birds or insects.
As one forum analyst put it, "We no longer count the number of times given photos for analysis showed the same anomaly." To date, July 2021, I count 18 such cases out of the 767 cases that I published in this catalog covering only Alsace.

Topic: 2015: on 04/10 at 06:08 p.m. - disc-shaped Ufo - Ufos at Tour du Climont, La Salcée, Alsace - Bas-Rhin (dep.67) Sat Apr 11 2015, 06:26 p.m. Ufo observation 2015: on 04/10 at 06:08 p.m. - disc-shaped Ufo - Tour du Climont, La Salcée, Alsace - Bas-Rhin (dep.67) Firstname or alias: Nyvek Weather condition: Cloudy sky During a walk at the Tour du Climont, located at an altitude of over 900m on the mountain of the same name, I took some pictures with my Hybrid, a Samsung NX3000 equipped of its 16-50mm. While editing the photos with lightroom, I could see a kind of black disc in the sky in the distance, which is not present on a similar photo taken exactly 16s before. The photos are in RAW format for those who are interested, therefore raw data output of the camera. I should point out that on March 23 at 2:59 p.m., in Colroy-La-Roche in Alsace, during a shooting in bracketed mode (3 photos in a row extremely fast to achieve HDR), I was able to see a similar phenomenon. On the 1st photo a black spot appears in the distance in the sky, and on the second, made 2s later, there is nothing... if I can put thiese photos there too, let me know. P.S: I darkened the photos to better identify the shape. P.S 2: for raw pictures or those of March 23, do not hesitate to ask me. Regards Precise description: Black oval shape in the sky Annexes (photos, videos, map): Shape above the end of the airplane smoke trail Photo taken 16s earlier, no shape in the sky https://goo.gl/maps/wLn7h [Returns a "Google" map locating Climont near Urbeis.] Field survey requested: Investigator in charge of the case: Keywords: Ovni, Ufo, Ufologie, Témoignages, Alsace call for witnesses: http://www.lalsace.fr, France, 18:08, 10,, I certify on my honor the accuracy of the information communicated and the authenticity of the documents provided. I do not know how to identify this phenomenon, thank you in advance for your answers. Sincerely Nyvek |

Is this it? Sincerely, |

You have to zoom in. I can possibly circle them now that you have the originals Edit: http://imageshack.com/a/img537/3665/v6lcSZ.jpg [Image no longer available.] |

I think you are the victim of artefacts, in your case maybe objects, insects, birds... This forum has an entire thread devoted to anomalies that appear in photos taken with a digital camera. They swarm... Good evening. |

As I mentioned, on the same photo taken 16s earlier there is only one spot. So it will remain a mystery. |

Your camera is not to blame. What is, almost certainly, are objects, dust, insects, etc ... which passed in front of the lens at the time of the shooting. Indeed, there is little chance that the same "parasitic" objects are found in the same places on two images taken 16 s apart. On this website we no longer count the number of times the photos given for analysis presented the same anomaly. You can get in touch (PM) with a photo / video analytics specialist like elevenaugust who might have another opinion or find a cause that I don't see. He will certainly ask you for the original (RAW) snapshots. Have a nice day. |

The photos are no longer available for an in-depth explanation, of course, but who will daresay that this is a case of sightings of extraterrestrial craft?
Birds, insects.
* = Source is available to me.
? = Source I am told about but could not get so far. Help needed.
