AnomalyOn August 17, 2013, around 11 p.m., two people were intrigued by the presence of a very bright light moving silently across the sky in a straight line. The description of the phenomenon matches exactly the observation of the International Space Station. The passage records for this station (source Calsky.com) indicate that it was clearly visible that evening from Pontarlier at 11:15 p.m., which corresponds to the time given by the witness (approximate time, according to the witness). GEIPAN classifies this case as "A": observation of the ISS.
