An account in Mayotte, France

A testimony by questionnaire reports the observation of a fixed, very bright luminous point to the East on December 31, 2009, around 9 p.m. (local time). The apparent very rapid movement at high altitude initially described by the witness actually corresponds to the movement of clouds. The duration of the observation (10 minutes) of a fixed, very bright point changing color suggests the observation of the brightest star in our sky: Sirius. The astronomical configuration of the sky indeed shows the presence of Sirius in the portion of sky observed (East) at the time of the observation. The case is classified as A, as the observation of the star Sirius.
