__________________

The witness's father sent a letter to albert Ducroc, a well-known French science journalist, describing the observation and a photo of his son. 

Excerpt from the letter:

"On may 26, 1975, at approximately 19:45, my son Didier, who had just turned seventeen, called me and said that he had just seen a UFO and that he had photographed it.

His statement was met with great skepticism from me, my wife, and my daughter. Before closing the shutters, he saw this "thing", and after a few seconds he had the reflex to jump on the camera and take a picture. 

We didn't talk about the incident again. After finishing the film and not having the money to develop it, my son put it aside... and forgot about it until last week. 

At the sight of the picture that I attach to this letter, I was amazed." 

In the interview, the witness provided additional details.

 "[The duration of the observation was] approximately 10 to 15 seconds. It went straight down. Then it disappeared to the South. It resembled an opaque black disk without any reflection or relief, and it developed without noise, at least I didn't hear any noise."

Summary: The witness’ father sent a letter to Albert Ducrocq, a prominent French science journalist, describing his son’s sighting and photograph. Excerpt from the letter: “On May 26, 1975, at approximately 07:45 p.m., my son Didier, who has just been seventeen years old, called me, claiming that he had just seen a UFO and that he had photographed it. His claim was received by much skepticism on my part, my wife’s and my daughter’s. Before closing his shutters, he saw this “thing” and, after a few seconds, he had the reflex to jump on his camera and to take a photograph. We did not speak again any more of the incident; having finished the roll and not having money to have it developped, my son put it aside… and forgot about it until last week. It was an amazement at the sight of the picture which I join to this letter.” In an interview, the witness gave further details. “[The duration of the sighting was] approximately 10 to 15 seconds. It went down vertically. Then, it disappeared towards the south. It resembled an opaque black disc without any reflection nor relief, and it evolved without noise, at least, I did not hear any noise.”

Капля (или загрязнение) на объективе или стекле

Often it's a small point on the photos, like hovering metal ball. At least - this is quite a big blur. Color, brightness and the presence of a highlight depends on the color of the reflected light source, background shooting and drop form.

Shape, color and density of pollution may vary depending on the source of the contamination and its nature. This can be as a desired pattern on the glass, and random.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

It was probably shot through a window. The blurring of an object indicates that it is out of focus, unlike houses and trees. It's probably dirt on the glass.
