Claim #1891 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence

This testimony of a close observation, and therefore a strange one, was not reported to GEIPAN until more than 15 years after the events, which creates a significant risk of false memories, at least in part; furthermore, the precise date of the observation is not known, preventing any comparison with other similar cases.”
