AnomalyA witness observes, at an interval of fifteen days and at the same time, the same phenomenon in the night sky: a bright point of light of high intensity passes over his home and then suddenly disappears. The Calsky listing of satellites visible from Brest that evening shows that the object "Cosmos 2297 Rocket" (23405 1994-077-B launched from Baikonur on November 24, 1994) enters the Earth's shadow at 8:04 PM, the exact time of the observation (and disappearance) of the observed phenomenon. Each evening, at this time and in this season, many satellites, more or less bright, are clearly visible (see Calsky listing). The weather conditions, however, are not always favorable for observation. GEIPAN classifies this case "A": observation of the 3rd stage of the Zenit-2 launcher of the satellite Cosmos 2297, which is also still in orbit.
