On Sunday, November 1, 2015, around 7 a.m., a witness is observing the stars and spots a luminous point by chance: he then sees it split in two. With his camcorder he looks and zooms in and finds the multicolored diamond shape he sees curious. No other testimony is collected. The luminous point that the witness describes as "due west at the height of the Moon" is Capella. The witness does not report anything very strange as long as the observation is with the naked eye ("I stayed on a luminous point by chance"... "By eye I thought of a satellite"), except perhaps a star scintillation that here gives an impression of splitting. All the strangeness perceived by the witness and at the origin of his testimony results from what he saw in the video. Here, once again, we have a classic manifestation of artifacts generated by a device filming and zooming on a star. Consequently, GEIPAN classifies this case as A: Capella.
