An account in Rhône, France

On November 20, 2014 at 9:29 PM, an amateur astronomer is surprised to see in the eyepiece of his telescope the passage of a small fuzzy, bright ball with warm tones. Of average strangeness and good consistency (single witness, but with a very precise testimony), this case turns out to be the observation of the satellite Cosmos 1636, probably surrounded by a gas cloud coming from the remains of its propellant tanks, released on the occasion of an undetermined incident. The trajectory of the UAP is indeed perfectly consistent with that of the satellite Cosmos 1636, and its movement is entirely characteristic of a satellite's movement. The hypothesis cannot, however, be confirmed in the absence of another witness for cross-checking. It is not the witness's visual perception that is in question, but the interpretation the witness makes of his observation through his feelings (low luminosity of the UAP, observation of a rare phenomenon). This case is classified as B, probable observation of the satellite Cosmos 1636 surrounded by a gas cloud.
