Pilot witness in A�rien, France
Over the English Channel on May 13, 2014 at 5:35 PM (local time), a pilot reports to the air traffic controller an observation of a luminous phenomenon that intrigues him. On the left side of the aircraft, he sees 1 or 2 silver balls. No other testimony has been collected to date for this date.
The very brief testimony simply mentions "one or 2 silver ball on the left" without specifying the duration or the direction of movement of the phenomenon. The sun is at Azimuth 255° (SW) at an elevation of 36°, to the right of the aircraft. The weather in Caen indicates notable cloud cover.
The reported phenomenon (silver ball) is on the left of the aircraft. If the phenomenon were moving at the speed of the aircraft, in the same direction, it could be a glory phenomenon (Brocken spectre, pilot's glory) in the direction opposite the sun, projected onto the cloud layer.
It could also be an atmospheric re-entry of space debris or a meteoroid.
Lacking details in the testimony, GEIPAN classifies this case "C" due to lack of information.

Has this happened to you?
Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
