AnomalyOn April 22, 2009 at 4:45 in the morning, an amateur astronomer is intrigued by a fixed object in the sky with strong color variations (green, red, blue) and a variable magnitude (strong increase then decrease). The event lasted 15 seconds according to the witness. This observation clearly suggests a temporary reflection on a satellite: an Iridium satellite flare, or a reflection on a rotating satellite. Despite his requests, GEIPAN did not receive more details and cannot verify this hypothesis too long after the facts. This not-very-strange case is classified "C" due to lack of information.
