An account in Loire-Atlantique, France
On August 5, 2013 at 11:14 PM, a couple observed the passage of a very bright point in the sky. This observation of a very luminous point crossing the sky from West to East early in the night has all the characteristics of observing a large satellite: that evening, the passage of the International Space Station (ISS) was noted at exactly that time: from 11:11 PM to 11:16 PM (see the Calsky record). The fact that the witness indicates that the light "at times seemed to deviate from its trajectory" is probably the result of an optical illusion: see perception of the movement of a luminous point in the sky.
