What happened
An amateur astronomer was observing the sky and filming through their telescope when they recorded a bright point that seemed to move across the sky. The video recording shows this apparent movement.
The source gives no further information: no time, duration, direction, weather conditions or other witness accounts. GEIPAN described the case as an instrumental observation of a point of light in the sky. Because the data were insufficient, it classified the case as C and offered no explanation.
