Sighting in Petit-Couronne, July 3, 2010
Seine-Maritime, Normandie, France
Sighting on July 3, 2010 in Petit-Couronne (Seine-Maritime, France). GEIPAN identified the phenomenon with certainty: it was the International Space Station (ISS) (class A).
What happened
The witness noticed a white point of light moving across the sky from 11:50 pm, which puzzled them. They filmed it as they watched and heard no particular sound.
The GEIPAN investigation found the case to be of low strangeness and medium consistency, since it rested on a single witness. The first part of the observation matches the International Space Station (ISS) very well. The second and third parts the witness described were most likely satellites that could not be identified individually. The case was classified A: identified, an observation of the ISS.
