On June 20, 2012 at around 10:50 PM, a witness is intrigued by the silent passage in the sky of a luminous point. He films his observation. After analyzing the hypothesis of an airplane seen from the front preparing to land at Roissy, and that of the passage of a Thai lantern (the wind is contrary), GEIPAN finally retained the ISS hypothesis: clear weather, and passage of the International Space Station, very visible in Paris (see Calsky data), rising at 10:46 PM exactly in the direction indicated by the witness, culminating at 10:51 PM, the time indicated by the witness. This case is classified "A": Observation of the ISS perfectly identified.
