On Sunday, July 23, 2017 at 11:27 PM, a witness and his partner observe for less than one minute the slow movement of a white luminous point on a West-East trajectory in a clear sky. The intensity of the point decreases as it progresses. Only one testimony is collected. The witness's observation is extremely precise in date and position in the sky! It corresponds exactly to the passage of the International Space Station (ISS) recorded on Calsky. The ISS is indeed at its highest intensity when it is first seen by the witness in the SE at about 70 degrees of elevation, then sets toward the EAST with decreasing intensity. Consequently, GEIPAN classifies the case as A: observation of the International Space Station (ISS).
