An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Calvados, France

On August 5 and 6, 1998, at around 10:30 p.m., a woman observed the passage of a white light crossing the sky. The investigation showed that the MIR station was perfectly visible on those two days at the time of the observation. An American experiment involving an unmanned aircraft remotely controlled by satellite could also have been visible on August 22. Given the observations made, the hypothesis that the MIR station was observed is retained.
