Red lights in Gironde, France
On April 24, 2014 at around 10:40 PM, a witness observes, from his balcony, the movement of a white luminous sphere followed by a second one, which has the shape of an elongated cigar equipped with green and red lights and marked along its length by white lights. No noise is heard, which convinces the witness that it cannot be an airplane. No other testimony is collected.
Of strong strangeness, and of sufficient consistency, this case turns out to be a misidentification with an artificial satellite (in particular NOSS 3-6 Rocket) and a commercial airliner of the B737 or A330 type.
The reconstruction of the trajectories of these two objects indeed shows that they correspond perfectly with those of the UAPs. Moreover, the description of the UAPs corresponds perfectly with these two artificial objects.
It is normal that the witness did not recognize an airplane during his observation, since any possible noise coming from this airplane could not reach the witness, due to the distance between him and the airplane, but also because of the wind blowing against the UAP/witness direction. Likewise, the witness ruled out the airplane hypothesis, because he is convinced that no airplane passes on the indicated trajectory, which is erroneous.
The rather unusual rapid succession (same trajectory, same angular height) of a satellite pass and that of a commercial airliner can perfectly create confusion, and therefore the non-identification of the two objects by the witness.
This case is classified A: misidentification with a satellite and a commercial airliner.
