Pilot witness in Ille-et-Vilaine, France
A witness reports an observation made on April 12, 2012, at around 10:30 PM. From his balcony, he follows for 2 minutes the south-to-north movement of a white light source. No trail and no particular noise are heard during the observation.
No other testimony will be collected by the gendarmerie. No known flight was reported by air traffic control over the Dinard airspace at the time of the events. The witness's description corresponds exactly to the observation of the passage of the International Space Station ISS, which was flying over Brittany that evening: see the track of the ISS's movement against the sky background (the time shown on the track is accurate only to within a few minutes). This case is classified "A": observation of the International Space Station ISS.

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
