The case record describes the observation as indirect observation, via video and photograph, of streetlights on the ground.
Claim #18395 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“GEIPAN classifies this case as “B”: indirect observation, via video and photograph, of streetlights on the ground.”

// [[T0002]] Description
The witness was filming a lunar eclipse on June 15, 2011, and noticed three luminous phenomena, later noticing a fourth phenomenon in the recording.
Claim #18396 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“The witness films a lunar eclipse on June 15, 2011, and notices the presence of three luminous phenomena that intrigue them.”
Source: CHOZEAU (38) 15.06.2011
// [[T0001]] Description
The first luminous point appeared when a zoom-out brought it into the camera frame, and its subsequent apparent descent occurred as the zoom factor increased again.
Claim #18397 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 96% extraction confidence
“The first appearance of the phenomenon at 3'48 corresponds to a "zoom-out" that brings into the frame a luminous point that was not present in "narrow field" mode.”
Source: CHOZEAU (38) 15.06.2011
// [[T0001]] Description
GEIPAN assessed that the luminous source was probably close to the ground, such as a nearby streetlight.
Claim #18398 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“This is probably a light source close to the ground (e.g., a nearby streetlight).”
Source: CHOZEAU (38) 15.06.2011
// [[T0002]] Explanation
A second luminous point visible below the Moon was identified as clearly being a streetlight, with part of its base visible.
Claim #18399 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“At 4'02, another luminous point can be seen appearing below the Moon: it is clearly a streetlight, part of whose base can be seen.”
Source: CHOZEAU (38) 15.06.2011
// [[T0002]] Explanation
The source states that the Moon was only 15° above the horizon, approximately two hours after rising.
Claim #18400 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 97% extraction confidence
“The attached ephemerides do indeed indicate that the Moon was only 15° above the horizon, therefore fairly low on the horizon, approximately two hours after rising.”
Source: CHOZEAU (38) 15.06.2011
// [[T0002]] Explanation
The source assesses that zoom and zoom-out operations may have misled the witness, who appears to have viewed the phenomena through the camcorder viewfinder and later during video editing.
Claim #18401 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 97% extraction confidence
“The witness appears to have observed these phenomena only through the camcorder viewfinder, and subsequently during video editing; the zoom/zoom-out operations may have misled them.”
Source: CHOZEAU (38) 15.06.2011
// [[T0002]] Explanation
The photograph showing two luminous L shapes is assessed as a long-exposure photograph affected by operator movement, probably depicting the same two sources seen in the video.
Claim #18402 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 96% extraction confidence
“The photograph showing two luminous “L” shapes corresponds to the long-exposure photograph (operator movement) of two luminous points, probably the same two sources that appeared in the video.”
