An account in Val-de-Marne, France

On January 13, 1979, between 6:15 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., a witness observed from his home a luminous point that intrigued him. This point moved slowly from East to West in an ascending trajectory. The witness took several photographs. The descriptions given and the sky chart for that day indicate that this witness made an astronomical observation of Venus, which was particularly visible at that time of year (magnitude -4.41).
