A witness reports observing the slow passage of two bright points in the sky. They move in a southerly direction, parallel to each other and keeping the same distance between them. No sound is heard during the brief observation before the objects disappear. On the day and at the time of the observation, the space shuttle was in the approach phase to the international station. The testimony is consistent with the observation of this "tandem." It is noted, however, that the direction described by the witness (toward the South) is not consistent with the direction "Pointe des corbeaux" that he also indicates, which is E-SE, consistent with the ISS trajectory (see map). This case is classified "A": observation of the space shuttle + ISS.
