An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Hérault, France

On August 15, 2011, between 11:30 PM and 11:45 PM, two witnesses were intrigued by the rapid passage across the sky of a very intense, blinking white light. The phenomenon crossed the entire sky. Of average strangeness, but insufficiently precise (directions, time), this observation case evokes phenomena linked to reflections of sunlight on an unlisted satellite, (or to a phenomenon of the atmospheric re-entry type, according to a completely exceptional scenario). The GEIPAN not having been able to confirm this hypothesis, this case is classified C for lack of more precise information.
