AnomalyA person reports to us an old observation made at the end of December 1988 (the case date is given arbitrarily). This recent testimony (February 2011) of an old observation from 1988 is not precise in terms of date (the witness does not specify the day, nor the exact time of the observation). Any investigation is therefore impossible. Nevertheless, the characteristics described could correspond to the observation by many witnesses of the national case of 21.12.1988 of the atmospheric re-entry of a piece of the tank of the satellite Cosmos 1954 (published on the GEIPAN website: NATIONAL (975) 21.12.1988). In the absence of a precise date allowing this connection, the case is classified in category C as impossible to investigate.
