What happened
Around 7 p.m., several witnesses noticed a very bright point of light in the sky that stayed in the same place. It looked like a large star. The sighting was reported over several days in a row rather than on a single evening.
The GEIPAN investigation concluded that the witnesses had most likely mistaken the planet Venus for something unusual. The case was classified B, meaning probably identified.
