On October 20, 2013, between midnight and one in the morning, two people walking together are intrigued by the presence in the sky of a set of equidistant lights forming a triangle. Only one testimony is collected. Of average strangeness and consistency, this case turns out to be a definite misidentification with the Hyades star cluster. Moreover, the Hyades were perfectly visible in the axis indicated by the witness, and the position of the lights making up the UAP matches perfectly with that of the stars in the cluster. The UAP shows only one orange light, just like the star Aldebaran, which is near the Hyades, can be. It is not the witness's visual perception that is at issue, but the interpretation the witness makes of their observation through their feelings (astonishment, fatigue, walking on foot at night, presence of clouds that could give an illusion of movement to the UAP). This case is classified as A, definite misidentification with the Hyades cluster.
