An account in Lot-et-Garonne, France

On August 8, 2013, a witness at a summer camp made astronomical observations with a friend. He recounts one of his observations during which, at around 10:30 p.m., he saw in the sky two bright points moving in a straight line while blinking. This very well-documented observation report clearly suggests the observation of satellites. A consultation of the Calsky website allows for two hypotheses: - The passage of the ISS at 10:27 p.m.: but the international station is much brighter than the stars, and this hardly explains the two bright points. The ISS passed south of the North Star, while the witness describes the objects to the north. - The passage of the two military satellites NOSS 2-1B and 1C at 10:37 p.m., less bright, but capable of irregularly reflecting sunlight and producing the effect described by the witness. Their trajectory matches the witness's observation very well. It is this hypothesis that GEIPAN retains, despite a 7-minute discrepancy from the testimony.
