On January 9, 2009 at 9:29 PM, two witnesses observe a round object that seems motionless in the sky toward the south-southeast. One of the witnesses notices a change in color. Only one testimony by email is recorded at GEIPAN. The photo mentioned is not attached to the email. The observation could correspond to the star SIRIUS, observable due southeast, whose color changes are characteristic. Nevertheless, the lack of information gathered from the witness does not allow this hypothesis to be fully validated. This case is classified in category C: lack of information.
