Description: In the evening of October 27, 1999, at about 11:30pm, an anonymous person staying in a camp-site of Le Muy saw a luminous object through the window. She came out and took this Polaroid. The object then left quickly. The camera is probably of the SX-70 type, a common model without flash, 116mm objective, f/8, with 4 lenses, minimal development 20cm. Some models have an autofocus with ultrasounds but it does not seem that there was one in this case. Few natural phenomena can produce such a pure light, from a spectral point of view. It might be an enlightened lenticular cloud by a blue laser, the probability that such an event occurs small.
Editors Note: It has been called to my attention that this photograph has been deemed a hoax, as it bears a remarkable resemblence to a created photo for the science fiction classic, "This Island Earth."
