What happened
At around 8 p.m., a witness noticed a moving light in the sky to the north. They described it as a very bright star travelling slowly from west to east along a curved path. The witness watched it through binoculars.
The witness gave no further details about what they saw. Because the information available was insufficient, GEIPAN could not determine the nature of the phenomenon and classified the case as C (insufficient data). Its conclusion was limited to the observation of a luminous phenomenon in motion.
