White light in Marne, France

On November 19, 2009 at around 5:35 p.m., several people observe the west-to-east passage in the sky of an object that intrigues them. A bright white light moves slowly along a straight-line trajectory. The observation lasts from 4 to 10 minutes depending on the witnesses. These people, like other witnesses, observed the passage of the ISS. A film was made by another witness: (Geipan.mp4).
