An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Cher, France

A witness makes successive observations of the movement of a luminous phenomenon in the sky. He films his observations. All of the video documents correspond to a misidentification with the planet Venus. The slow movement perceived relative to the trees is due to the high magnification used (the zoom is probably at maximum), which betrays the rotation of the Earth, imperceptible to the naked eye. Of low strangeness and good consistency thanks to the multiple video extracts, this observation case corresponds to multiple misidentifications with the planet Venus for what concerns the daytime shots at sunset, and with the planet Jupiter or the ISS for the nighttime shots. This case is classified A.
