Meurthe-et-Moselle, France · 1991-10-20 · from the GEIPAN archive
This observation case, already published under the name BRIEY (54) with a "B" classification, probable observation of a celestial body, was the subject of a new analysis in 2009. Between October 20 and 24, 1991, between 6 and 8 a.m., two witnesses are intrigued by the presence of a luminous phenomenon in the sky. One of the witnesses films with his camcorder the appearances of this very bright point. The gendarmes will also note the presence of a luminous point always in the same place in the sky. When filming with maximum zoom, a sphere with two "notches" appears: this will turn out to be a problem related to the camcorder lens. Following an astronomical check, the investigation will reveal that the "shepherd's star" was clearly visible in this sector of the sky on the indicated dates and that it was at maximum brightness phase with a magnitude that could reach -4.46 during this period. In view of the additional investigation, GEIPAN classifies this case "A" as perfectly identified: successive observations of the planet Venus.
On Tuesday, December 19, 1978 at 8:23 a.m., a witness on his balcony observes a phenomenon he does not recognize. In the clear sky toward the southeast of Meaux, a luminous point oscillates.…
