On Thursday, August 19, 2010, at around 2:30 a.m., a witness and his relatives were intrigued by the presence in the sky of luminous and silent objects (named 1 and 2 in the testimony), stationary or moving. The witness made another observation on August 21, 2010, between 6:00 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. (objects named 3 and 4).

Object 2, also stationary and located to the East on August 19, could be the star Capella (az. 47 and 24° elevation and magnitude 0.05). An orientation error margin of about 45° is commonly noted in testimonies. Of low strangeness and medium consistency, this observation case is the result of several astronomical and astronautic misidentifications.
