On July 24, 2013 at midnight, one witness observed more than 10 flying objects over a period of 30 minutes, with different shapes and behaviors. No other testimony was collected. This atypical testimony reports numerous apparently spectacular phenomena, and varied behaviors. Given the scale of the phenomenon, it is surprising that the witness is the only one, unless these were fairly faint lights: one could then think of satellites or shooting stars, which are very numerous and visible at this time of night, at this time of year (see Calsky data). Two fairly spectacular Iridium satellite flares are also noted. On the same day, GEIPAN received a bolide observation case (BACHANT (59) 24.07.2013) and numerous witnesses reported many large shooting stars. This time of year is a peak for various meteor showers. Due to the lack of precise observational data from the witness, GEIPAN classifies this case as "C" for lack of precise information on position in the sky and direction of movement, or photos. The observation is probably a set of phenomena of different origins.
