AnomalyOn September 8, 2009 at 9:14 PM, a witness observed in the sky a bright light without blinking that moved at a rapid pace from West to East on a straight trajectory. This testimony is very slightly strange, and the description is too brief for a serious study. It is most likely a pass of the International Space Station ISS, which was moving from West to East above the southern horizon from 9:07 PM to 9:14 PM (see Calsky data). GEIPAN classifies this case "B": observation of the International Space Station ISS.
