An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Moselle, France

A witness and his son observe on 11 February 2015 at around 6:40 p.m. a bright point in the sky moving at a speed greater than that of a passenger airliner. The point then passes above the roof of the building and finally disappears by fading out. This observation report is typical of an observation of a "large" satellite. The "Calsky" log indeed indicates the passage of the International Space Station (ISS) at exactly this time, according to the diagram produced by the witness (however, an error is noted on the azimuth at the start of the observation, due to a mistake in the form). The GEIPAN classifies this case "A": observation of the International Space Station (ISS).
