AnomalyOn April 4, 2008 at 10:28 PM, a motorist at the rest area of Mas d'Agenais was intrigued by the unusual movement of a white object in the starry sky. The object moved along an irregular trajectory. The observation lasted about 50 seconds before the object gradually disappeared. Given the objective elements collected, namely the presence in the sky of the International Space Station at the exact time of the observation, then the position of the witness and the strong resemblance of the object to a satellite, according to the witness himself, we can conclude that the object observed by the witness is very certainly the International Space Station, and that the impression of a "stop" near airliners mentioned in the testimony is a natural physiological ocular phenomenon (autostasis/micronystagmus). This case is to be classified as "A".
