AnomalyA witness reports that on June 15, 2011 shortly after 11:30 PM, he observed the silent, straight-line passage of a very bright white ball in the sky. He cannot explain the observed phenomenon. A pass of the International Space Station (ISS) occurred between 11:08 PM and 11:18 PM, passing from West to East, visible from Aiglemont. Although the witness stated that he did research on the Internet and concluded that the ISS was not visible that evening (N.B. this research may be inaccurate in hindsight), and that the time does not exactly match the time given by the witness, the ISS hypothesis is the one retained, because the trajectory and brightness correspond perfectly to an ISS pass.
