An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Doubs, France

Several witnesses observe the regular passage of a luminous point on the same trajectory. Considering the times given by the witness, the observation corresponds to the passage of the ISS station (to which the ATV2 cargo ship was docked). The witness was observing toward the south a light moving on a southwest-east axis, compatible with the trajectory of the ISS, whose magnitude of -3.0 made it a luminous object easily observable with the naked eye. The passage times subsequently checked on the Heavens Above website are slightly offset due to the correction of the station's trajectory (every week). The case is classified as A as the observation of the International Space Station (ISS).
