An account in H�rault, France

On August 4, 2013 at 10:12 PM, a couple observes the passage of a whitish luminous point moving at the same speed as a passenger plane, but without blinking, in a straight line, without noise. The witness takes two photos with a camera and is astonished by what he gets when zooming in from his computer (see photo 3). Only one testimony is collected. The strangeness at the origin of the testimony results from what the witness saw in the photo and not from what he saw with his own eyes, which he himself admits was probably a satellite. Indeed, at the indicated time, several satellites passed in a southwest to northeast direction (see Callsky). GEIPAN no longer processes (due to multiple photo artifacts) strangenesses coming from photos and not seen with the eyes, and here only comments on the visual. GEIPAN classifies the case as A: observation of the passage of a satellite.

Has this happened to you?

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.

Know someone this happened to?

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.
