An account in Vienne, France

On October 14, 2015 at 11:31 PM, a witness observed several successive flashes in the sky, in a very specific area. He checked the Heavens Above website but identified no Iridium satellite flashes, nor any satellite pass that could correspond. Of average strangeness, but of sufficient consistency, this case turns out to be a probable misidentification with an out-of-control satellite, rotating relatively rapidly on itself, at very high altitude. A reconstruction shows that in the area of the sky described by the witness, there are 5 or 6 satellites that could explain the observation. Monitoring the passes of these satellites will make it possible to determine which one is responsible for the observed flashes. This case is classified as B, misidentification with a phenomenon of satellite reflections, involving a satellite at very high altitude.
