An account in Finistère, France

On July 17, 2009, around midnight, a couple is intrigued by the rapid passage above them of a highly luminous white phenomenon. One of the witnesses reports their observation, which lasted 30 seconds. The phenomenon moves at a steady speed and along a straight trajectory before disappearing. No particular noise was noticed during the observation. This observation case, of low strangeness but with a precise description, matches in every point an observation of the passage of the International Space Station (ISS). This case is classified as A.
