AnomalyDuring the night of July 4 to 5, 2010, at around 12:15 a.m., a witness observes from the window of his bedroom the straight-line passage from west to east of a very bright light. The object disappears hidden by the roof. Although the ISS was only visible from the observation location starting at 12:23 a.m. (legal time), we consider the 7-minute margin of error relative to the time reported by the witness to be acceptable, knowing that he himself indicates "± 15 minutes." This case is classified as B, a very probable observation of the International Space Station.
