On June 13, 2013, at 12:30 a.m., a cyclist observes a bright light that he first takes for Saturn or Jupiter. Upon arriving home, the witness is surprised to note that the bluish light passes overhead without any noise. The trajectory is straight, but the ball seems at times to make zigzags. It ends up gradually disappearing in the distance. No other testimony was collected. Given the objective elements collected, namely that the object moved in a straight line, affected by small zigzags, with a brightness and a trajectory compatible with the passage of the ISS (International Space Station), the strangeness of the phenomenon can be considered low, with two possible explanatory hypotheses, one of which is very likely: airplane or ISS. (see the investigation report). The testimony is of medium to low consistency: there is an internal contradiction regarding the directions of movement, and an absence of diagrams or photos. Given these elements, this case is classified as "B" as a very likely observation of the ISS, the witness having probably been a victim of the autokinetic illusion.
