Case description

On 9 August 1997 at about 22:40, a witness watching the sky with his nephew saw an intriguing, very bright point moving slowly and silently. The sighting lasted about 30–40 seconds. With little information available, GEIPAN considered an aircraft or satellite the probable explanation.
