On March 17, 2009, at 2:20 a.m., a witness observed a bright point near the Moon that intrigued him. At his workplace and with colleagues, he made this observation several more times. The intensity of the bright point disappeared with daybreak. The position of the point and its movement intrigued the witnesses. The astronomical configuration clearly shows that the witnesses observed the star ANTARES. This star "follows" the Moon and seems to turn around it, as described by one of the witnesses. This natural apparent movement is simply due to the respective distance of the star and the Moon and to the Earth's rotation.
