On April 16, 2008, between 9:45 PM and 11:00 PM, a witness is intrigued to see, between two rooftops of houses to the southwest, a luminous phenomenon (in the form of flashes) yellow-orange in color that appears every two or three minutes within a restricted perimeter. Of low strangeness and medium consistency (single witness, but with a well-detailed and precise testimony), this case turns out to be a certain misidentification with vehicle headlights reflecting off an antenna on a neighboring house. This explanation was in fact provided by the witness themselves, following a similar later observation. This case is classified as A, misidentification with reflections of automobile headlights.
