A witness reports an observation made on July 17, 2012 at 4:03 a.m.: from his terrace he observes in the direction of East-Southeast two particularly bright points in the sky. He films his observation and discovers, while looking at his video, a third point. This group then appears to him as a triangle. He will make the same observation two days later. The observation of two fixed, very bright luminous points points toward the hypothesis of an astronomical origin: the sky chart for that day indicates the simultaneous presence of Venus and Jupiter that morning, in the direction of East/Northeast (see astro chart). The witness's video is consistent with the arrangement of these celestial bodies in the sky. The third luminous point, less bright, is Aldebaran, a very bright star (magnitude -0.6). GEIPAN classifies this case "A" as perfectly identified: observation of the planets Venus and Jupiter, and of the star Aldebaran.
