On the evening of August 22, 2012, witnesses from their terrace observed a very bright point moving across the sky. The object left in a strange way at full speed in the sky. It came from the West and disappeared toward the East. The Calsky website indicates a pass of the International Space Station (ISS), extremely bright, visible from Brue-Auriac from 22:11 in the West to 22:17 in the Southeast (see attached). The appearance of the ISS matches the witnesses' account. Its disappearance in the middle of the sky corresponds to its entry into the Earth's shadow. GEIPAN classifies this case "A": observation of the ISS.
