UFO captured on video in France in 2011

Summary

In August 2011, a person in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques was filming the landscape when they captured a mysterious object passing quickly in front of the camera. The phenomenon was so fleeting that no sound was heard, and the person immediately sent the images to the gendarmerie. Review of the footage revealed that, in the last two seconds, an insect crossed the field of view. Although surprising, the object turned out to be nothing more than a common creature, but its speed and size made it seem unusual.

The phenomenon that appears at five seconds was also identified as a yellow insect that passed even closer to the camera. Although initially puzzling, the natural explanation became clear after analysis. This case, classified as B by the GEIPAN, shows how the ordinary can appear extraordinary under certain conditions. The recording, though brief, was key to solving the mystery.
