An account in Calvados, France

Recent testimony (23/10/2009) of an old observation. Three people observed during the summer of 2008 (but the year remains uncertain) around 11 p.m. the silent passage, in single file, of several bright points in the sky at high altitude. Of variable brightness, these points very quickly crossed the sky in a probable south-north direction and with a slightly elliptical trajectory. The phenomenon faded at the horizon. No other testimony concerning this phenomenon was collected. In the absence of precise information, particularly on the date, and given how old the observation is, any investigation is difficult, if not impossible.
