On August 23, 2012 at 11:00 PM, a witness is intrigued by the presence of a particular luminous point in the sky. The witness then observes the slow horizontal movement of this yellow glow. No particular noise is heard during the observation. The point disappears, hidden by the urban landscape. After several exchanges with the witness, the observation direction was able to be determined precisely.
