On April 29, 2010 at 11:00 PM, three people during their professional maritime surveillance activities observed the movement of a luminous phenomenon in the sky. The observation was made facing the sea from the bridge of a tower overlooking the ocean. Photographs were taken, notably through a spotting scope. The majority of the described characteristics of the phenomenon correspond to those known for a planetary movement (trajectory, speed, duration) and a strong luminosity of a single point close to artificial lighting, like the planet Venus. The strangeness of the observed phenomenon is low. The confirmation by three witnesses of the duration of the phenomenon, its description and trajectory, and its presence in a very precise sector of the sky gives the case very strong consistency. The verification of the presence of the planet Venus in the observation area for the entire duration of the observation is a certain and well-verified hypothesis.
A witness reports their observations on July 15, 16, and 17, 2010, of a luminous phenomenon that appears around 10 p.m. and disappears around 11:10 p.m. Other people present did not give tes…
