On November 1, 2005, between 6:25 PM and 6:45 PM, witnesses spotted in the sky a particular luminous phenomenon in the form of a very bright white ball with two red points on each side. This phenomenon moved toward the southwest very slowly and without noise, without changing direction. The same observation was made two weeks later by the same person. The local gendarmerie brigade noted the presence of a star. The witness, during his first observation, probably also made an astronomical observation. Examination of the sky chart at the time of the observation shows a set of conjunctions between Venus, Mercury, Uranus, and Antares, with Venus particularly bright (magnitude -3). It is therefore very likely that the witness observed this set of planets and stars that began to shine in the setting sun. GEIPAN classifies the case as B: probable astronomical observations.
