AnomalyOn December 15, 2013 at 11:00 PM, a witness observed the clear sky from his terrace. He saw a luminous phenomenon, colored and stationary. The observation lasted several hours with the naked eye and with binoculars. No particular noise was heard. Only one testimony was collected. This observation of a fixed luminous point in the sky corresponds to the planet Jupiter, brilliant in the evening sky, to the East. The color changes observed by the witness through binoculars are due partly to atmospheric turbulence (twinkling), partly to the optics of the binoculars (a white luminous point generally appears iridescent). GEIPAN classifies this case "A" as an observation of the planet Jupiter.
