On the night of Sunday, November 20, 2011, around 4 a.m., a young scout in a municipal hall is intrigued by a bright point of light of several colors that he observes through a window. He notes that the point moves slowly then stops. No particular noise is perceived by the child during his observation of about twenty minutes. An investigator was assigned to go check on site the sighting directions corresponding to the observation. The direction noted corresponds to the position of the very bright star Sirius.
