On July 7, 2013, a witness takes part in a nighttime sky-watching session. At the end of the session at 3:10 a.m., the witness observes in the starry sky above Montchevret the movement of a white luminous point. The trajectory of this point intrigues the witness because the UAP, just above his position, makes a 90-degree turn in less than 3 seconds to head toward the hamlet of Romandie. The point is lost from sight due to the terrain. No trail and no noise are noticed. No other testimony has been collected. The text of the testimony on the surface has a certain strangeness, since it involves a luminous point in the sky that suddenly changes trajectory... and it is not an airplane. In reality, it is possible to have a luminous satellite trajectory that stops, when the satellite exits the area illuminated by the sun, just near the place where the luminous trajectory of another satellite begins, which is entering the solar illumination zone. These two trajectories not being continuous, the observer may get the impression of a single same object having changed trajectory. It was not possible to go further in this type of analysis because the witness was not cooperative in requests for information (incomplete answers or non-answers to questions, despite follow-ups). The observation was obtained during a nighttime observation session organized by a ufology group. This is a context that, for some participants, can bias the objectivity of the observation (emulation among participants, quest for strangeness), even without the witness's knowledge. Consequently, GEIPAN classifies the case as C: lack of reliable information.
