On December 3, 2002 at 6:00 PM, observation by 2 witnesses in the sky of 2 elongated luminous points moving in a straight line without any noise. The observation lasted about 5 minutes.

(See in the appendix the ground tracks of these objects reported between 5:55 PM and 6:05 PM). This case is classified "A" as a perfectly identified phenomenon.
