Initial data
On Sunday, October 14, 2007, around lunchtime, Valean Flaviu, geography teacher of the group of industrial schools "Chorea" in Deva (35 years old, married, has one child), together with partners from the ecological association "Abeona" (Cornel Alexandru, Raluca Iovescu and Alin Iovescu) were in the nature reserve Magura Uroiului near Simeria.
It was a perfectly clear day, Cornel Alexandru was photographing a pair of peregrine falcons. The next day, when the photos were uploaded, two spheres appeared on the cliche, one white and one black, which no one noticed with the naked eye. Just 1-2 seconds before, a soaring falcon was photographed; the following photo was taken in a clear sky when the falcon suddenly "ran away" to the left; the third photo caught the falcon again.
The sun was at that moment somewhere behind-to the left. At first, the witnesses thought that the black sphere was a light shadow, but there was nothing to project the shadow on.
Unfortunately, no other landmarks are visible in the picture, and the resolution of the photo was 714K, although the camera had a maximum capacity of 12 MP.
If bright balls are often reported and photographed, then black ones are rarely.
A famous case is the case of April 14, 1561 from Nuremberg, when black, red and blue spheres, as well as disks, were reported; another case occurred on August 7, 1566 in Basel, when several black and red spheres were noticed.
Original news
Duminica, in data de 14 octombrie 2007, in jurul pranzului, Valean Flaviu profesor de geografie la Grupul Scolar Industrial "Horea" din Deva, 35 de ani, casatorit cu un copil, impreuna cu parteneri din asociatia ecologica "Abeona" (Cornel Alexandru, Raluca Iovescu si Alin Iovescu) se aflau in rezervatia naturala Magura Uroiului de langa Simeria.
Era o zi perfect senina, Cornel Alexandru fotografia o perche de soimi calatori. A doua zi, cand au fost descarcate fotografiile, pe un cliseu au aparut doua sfere, una alba si o alta neagra, pe care insa nimeni nu le sesizase cu ochiul liber. Cu doar 1-2 secunde mai devreme a fost fotografiat un soim aflat in planare; urmatoarea fotografie s-a declansat pe cerul senin intrucat soimul a "fugit" brusc spre stanga; a treia fotografie a prins din nou soimul.
Soarele se afla in acel moment undeva in spate-stanga. In primul moment martorii au crezut ca sfera neagra ar fi umbra celei luminoase dar umbra nu ar fi avut pe ce sa se proiecteze.
Din pacate, pe imagine nu mai apar alte repere, iar rezolutia fotografiei a fost de 714K, desi aparatul avea capacitatea maxima de 12 M.
Daca globuri luminoase sunt raportate si fotografiate adesea, cele negre sunt rare. Un caz celebru este cel din 14 aprilie 1561 de la Nurnberg cand s-au semnalat sfere negre, rosii si albastre, precum si discuri; un alt caz a fost cel din 7 august 1566 de la Basel, cand au fost vazute mai multe sfere negre si rosii.
