An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Is�re, France

On August 3, 2014 at around 10:30 p.m., a witness observed in the sky a white luminous point moving silently from southwest-northeast to northeast at roughly the speed of an airplane. Only one testimony was collected. The observation of a very bright luminous point crossing the sky toward the east in a few minutes, less than 2 hours after sunset, clearly suggests a pass of the International Space Station (ISS). The Calsky website confirms this hypothesis: the ISS "overflew" the witness's area from 10:36 p.m. to 10:45 p.m., from southwest to northeast. Since the witness does not report the ISS in addition to their observation, the GEIPAN classifies this case as "A": observation of the International Space Station.
