On July 21, 2015 at 2 a.m., a witness was observing the stars when he saw a flash intensifying then diminishing. He noted the same effect two minutes later. Only one testimony was collected. With low strangeness and consistency (single witness, no photo), this case turns out to be a very likely misidentification with two satellite flashes (see the document Investigation Notes). The UAP indeed presents all the typical characteristics of such a phenomenon: increase then decrease in brightness, slow flash, static position in the sky. Moreover, several out-of-control satellites, known to show powerful flashes, passed through a sector close to that of the UAP observation. Nevertheless, the testimony lacking precision, it is not possible to formally identify the satellite or satellites responsible for the observation. This case is classified as B, very likely misidentification with two satellite flashes.
On July 12, 2015, between 3 and 4 a.m., a witness positioned on the banks of the Hérault observed a small star blinking at a regular frequency, then moving in a straight line, blinking again…
