On January 8, 2015, at around 7:35 PM, a witness, inside his vehicle, observed for one minute, through a break in the clouds, 5 bright points in the sky: 3 points perfectly aligned, the other two completing the set to form a diamond shape. It was the witness himself who found the explanation for his observation a few days later, by observing the same sight in the same direction under a clear sky: the 3 bright aligned points are "the belt" of the constellation Orion (see star chart).
