A witness reports that since August 22, he has been intrigued by a stationary luminous object in the sky seen from several different locations. The witness sees with the naked eye a colored luminous object that moves from left to right then returns to its place. He also distinguishes with the naked eye and with a telescope the colors red, blue, green. Other people witness the phenomenon. Only one testimony is collected. The witness saw a star. In the direction reported (N-NE) it is Capella, but the witness later reports that in relation with his astronomy club, he comes to the conclusion that he saw Arcturus, which is due West and is higher in the sky (30°). Considering that the witness knows the directions from his house, GEIPAN would rather retain Capella. This observation is interesting because it illustrates a typical illusion (recognized moreover by the witness) of movement of a star when one stares at it ("I noticed that it moved from left to right then went down then returned to its place"). Consequently GEIPAN classifies the case as B: Capella.
