Location: Lac Chauvet, France
Andre
Fregnale, an engineer and photographer, walked around
France's Lake Chauvet taking pictures of a UFO that came
out of the Northwest sky. The photographs have been scrutinized
by many experts and all have found them to be real shots
of a real UFO.

The
Photos from Lac Chauvet, France
The
Lac Chauvet photos first appeared in Aime Michel's "The
Truth about Flying Saucers," which showed a clear
discoid object. The photos were taken by M. Fregnale on
July 18, 1952, who would remain convinced until his death
that he had seen, and taken pictures, of some natural
phenomenon. He believed that an extraterrestrial origin
for the disc was impossible because of the large interstellar
distances between star systems [Michel, 1957]. Only in
1994 were these photos subjected to a careful and detailed
examination by Dr. Guerin, a professor at the Institute
d'Astrophysique in Paris.

but a genuine ufo.

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.

The
Chauvet Lake UFO
Andre
Fregnale, an engineer and photographer, walked around
France's Lake Chauvet on July 18, 1952, for a great many
hours, taking pictures of a UFO that came out of the Northwest
sky. The sky was clear and luminous and the UFO moved
in the heavens at an altitude of 1,000 meters for several
hours. The film was developed and analyzed by Pierre Guerin,
a well respected astronomer and confirmed the UFO object
as real. The photographs have been scrutinized by many
experts and all have found them to be real shots of a
real UFO.
