An account in Charente, France

The witness observes, in the starry sky, a luminous point accompanied by a red point, on its right, below which there was a green point. These luminous points move together and suggest an airplane until they separate and go off in opposite directions. The beginning of the observation (a luminous point above the horizon, with red and green points) is entirely consistent with the perception of a star or planet with twinkling due to the atmosphere. The second part of the testimony ("the two points separated, each going in an opposite direction") does not correspond to any known phenomenon, unless it is an optical illusion, following the disappearance of the object. Of low strangeness for the beginning of the observation and medium for the end, and of low consistency (single witness, inconsistencies and imprecision in the testimony), this observation case cannot be concluded due to lack of reliable information or cross-checks. This case is classified C.
