AnomalyOn February 25, 2015 at 6:10 PM, a witness is driving in their vehicle when they see a colored phenomenon very high in the sky in a northwest direction. An airplane passes nearby. The sky is very clear. A yellow or red oval, very bright, observed for 5 minutes against the light at sunset, suggests a small cloud mass backlit by the setting sun. It could be water vapor from an airplane trail, or a cloud. Airplane trails are described in the form of a spindle or a V. In this case, the presence of a cloud is more likely. Its disappearance in one or two minutes is not very surprising. GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of a small cloud at sunset.
