Red lights in Drôme, France
On October 26, 2011, at around 8:30 PM, a witness observes in the sky (in the region of the constellation Aquarius) an extremely bright star. The witness is surprised to note that the light intensity gradually decreases, ending as a very small point in the sky. The observation suggests an airplane seen head-on, with its landing light on, seen at a distance of more than 10 km (which makes the green and red lights invisible), and which would have changed direction (see map). This hypothesis, unverified, was submitted to the witness, who did not respond. This case is classified "B" by GEIPAN: probable observation of an airplane head-on, with its landing light on.

A witness reports several successive observations of luminous phenomena seen in the sky. He makes a video of the phenomena. Only one testimony is collected.
This observation is fairly comple…
