An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Haute-Savoie, France

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 disappear, hidden by the landscape. The long and repeated observation of luminous points in the sky obviously suggests a common astronomical phenomenon: stars or planets. A check with a star chart indeed indicates Venus and Jupiter exactly in the witness's line of sight. It is regrettable that the witness, despite a high level of university education, did not think on his own of an astronomical phenomenon; he was clearly too influenced by TV programs on the UFO question. GEIPAN classifies this case as A: observation of Venus and Jupiter.
