AnomalyA witness observes, on June 7, 2010 around 12:30 a.m., a circular, luminous, and stationary object in the airspace. The observation lasts about 15 seconds before the object disappears rapidly without any noise. Following the additional information received from SNA-Ouest on 07/12/2010, this observation probably corresponds to the approach/landing phase of an aircraft at Nantes airport (a commercial flight that landed at 0:37 a.m. local time). The forward landing light is described as a "dazzling white luminous ball" "surrounded by flashes" (blinking wing lights).
