On Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 8:15 PM, a witness is intrigued by the movements in the sky of two yellow or white luminous points crossing the sky from East to North at significant speed. The first point has a straight and uniform trajectory, but it is the second one that captures the witness's attention, because it constantly moves around the first, describing ellipses, sudden sharp-angle turns, going into contact then resuming its position behind very rapidly. The observation ends after about fifteen seconds, as the two luminous points disappear through or behind a cloud. After a field investigation that helped specify the azimuths, and a cognitive interview that brought no new significant elements, this observation case remains highly strange given the movements of the second UAP around the first; this observation case resists the usual misidentification hypotheses. Due to the uniqueness of the testimony and its brevity, the hypothesis of a temporary visual illusion (ophthalmic migraine, phosphenes) remains, but the witness appears to enjoy perfect eyesight and health and did not report having suffered similar effects: for lack of elements supporting this hypothesis, it was rejected. The consistency of the case is rated 0.7 because the witness is unique, without reservation. The strangeness of the case is rated 0.6 due to the object with non-linear movement, but distant. Consequently, this observation case is classified as "D1" as unexplained.
