AnomalyOn April 19, 2012 at around 10:40 p.m., a witness spots in the sky a very bright point in the direction of N-NW. This point, at first stationary, then seems to move. The direction indicated by the observer (W/NW) corresponds to the position of the planet Venus in the sky, at 15° elevation above the horizon. The movements of the object indicated by the observer are obviously inconsistent with this hypothesis; the hypothesis of an airplane was considered, but radar tracks could not be obtained in time. Given this insufficient information, GEIPAN classifies this case, which is not very strange, as "C" due to lack of information.
