A Scientific Analysis of Four Photographs of a Flying Disk Near Lac Chauvet (France)

Pierre Guerin, Institut d'Astrophysique, Paris, France

ABSTRACT

A series of four photographs of a disk-shaped object apparently flying in the sky was physically analyzed. Certain details led us to develop a mathematical model of the supposed trajectory. The model was validated by measurements on the photographs, which demonstrated that the disk was distant from the camera, flying along a straight and horizontal trajectory, and was not a fabrication.

Pierre Guérin, décédé en 2000, est un atrophysicien qui a fait du phénomème OVNI l'un de ses sujets d'étude, dès les années 50. Pierre Guérin avait mené sa carrière d'astrophysicien à l'Institut d'Astrophysique du CNRS à Paris.

A short presentation of the Lac Chauvet photographs is here.

The details of the analysis are given by Pierre Guérin in his must read book:
