An account in Dordogne, France

On Sunday, August 17, 2014 at approximately 10:40 p.m., a witness observes for 5 minutes the movement of a white luminous phenomenon in the sky that intrigues him. Other witnesses notice the phenomenon. Only one testimony is collected. The description of the phenomenon given by the witness clearly evokes the passage of a large satellite. A check on Calsky confirms that the International Space Station (ISS) was indeed visible at that time, in the direction indicated by the witness: from the Northwest to the East. This observation case, perfectly identified, is classified "A": observation of the ISS.
