On September 10, 2010, at around 10:30 PM, a witness observed for 40 minutes the movements of a very bright object at very high altitude in the sky. The characteristics of the observation (a very bright object in the night, an observation duration of 40 minutes interrupted by the witness while the phenomenon was still in the sky) suggest the observation of a celestial object. The configuration of the sky shows the presence of the planet Jupiter, magnitude -2.9 (visible to the naked eye), in the southeast sector of the observation location. The case is classified as A, as the observation of the planet Jupiter.
