On June 30, 2015, between 11:30 PM and midnight, a witness observed for a long time two unusual lights in the sky, yellow-orange in color, positioned one above the other. He took several photos. The observation of bright points moving very slowly in the sky immediately points to an astronomical origin. A check on the star chart tells us that that evening the planets Venus and Jupiter were visible at their closest, just above the W/NW horizon: this rare phenomenon of apparent proximity is called a conjunction. The attached star charts show the appearance of the phenomenon at 11:33 PM, then at 11:55 PM when the planets were about to disappear below the horizon. GEIPAN classifies this case as "A" as perfectly explained: conjunction of Venus and Jupiter.
The witness observes every evening (without specifying for how long) starting at 9:45 PM a luminous point, soon followed by a second, less luminous one. These points move slowly together and…
