Essonne, Île-de-France, France
Sighting on August 31, 2010 in Vigneux-sur-Seine (Essonne, France). GEIPAN identified the phenomenon with certainty: it was the planet Venus (class A).
What happened
At around 9 p.m. one late-summer evening, the witness was sitting at the table having dinner when they noticed a very bright point of light through the open window of their dining room. Intrigued by what they called "a little sun", they filmed it. They later made other, similar observations.
GEIPAN found the case to be of low strangeness, but the videos gave it good consistency. The investigation concluded without ambiguity that the witness had mistaken the planet Venus for something unusual, and the case was classified A.
