AnomalyOn February 7, 2013 at 6:40 PM during an Ariane launch in Guyanne, a witness and their children saw and filmed 3 parallel lines standing out clearly against the lower part of the horizon. The lines dissipated shortly after. Given the elements brought by the investigation (see attached report), namely: - Appearance of the PANs identical to that of straight cast shadows. - Other similar existing examples. - Position of the sun. This case is to be classified as "A" as a certain observation of shadows created by the sun striking dense areas of the Ariane rocket's condensation trail, at twilight.
