On June 9, 2007 at around 1:30 in the morning, a witness observed a very bright glow in the sky that intrigued him. He filmed this phenomenon for several minutes. The Nice East gendarmerie was very reluctant to take his statement, so he contacted GEIPAN directly. His testimony is therefore recorded on a direct questionnaire and not on a gendarmerie report. A search with the Winstars 2 software quickly showed that the witness had observed Jupiter under very favorable conditions, which were in fact mentioned in the June issue of Sciences et Avenir magazine. The witness himself, who conducted his own analysis, actually arrived at the same conclusion. The phenomenon is therefore perfectly identified.
