What happened
During March 1985, a witness saw a very bright point of light in the sky on two occasions. It moved very slowly but steadily across the sky.
The GEIPAN investigation established that it was the planet Venus, which was particularly bright and easy to see at that time of year. The case was therefore classified A, an identified astronomical phenomenon.
