Bordeaux 2009, black spots in a photo

Summary

On May 12, 2009, a person took a photo that showed seven black spots they couldn't identify. A year later, in January 2010, they contacted the GEIPAN for help with the identification. Researchers concluded that the case wasn't particularly strange or consistent, and likely involved insects or birds captured in the image. Checking civil or military air traffic wasn't considered necessary, as the event was already over a month old. In the end, the case was classified as B, suggesting a natural explanation.
