An account in Aube, France

On February 9, 2009, between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM, several people witnessed a luminous phenomenon that frightened them. Only one testimony was collected, describing the observation of a large glow of different colors, stationary in the sky. No sound was heard during this two-hour observation. A similar observation took place on February 5, 2009, also in this municipality. Of low strangeness and medium consistency (brief testimony, very poor quality photo), this case presents the characteristics of an astronomical misidentification (a luminous object static for two hours). Several consistent details allow the hypothesis of a misidentification with the planet Venus to be raised, but the lack of concrete information, particularly the direction of observation, prevents any formal identification of the UAP. This case is classified as B, probable astronomical misidentification, with the favored hypothesis being that of the planet Venus.
