Case description

On August 5 and 6, 1998, at about 10:30 p.m., a woman saw a white light cross the sky. Investigators found that the Mir space station was clearly visible on both dates at the reported time. The source separately mentions a possible sighting on August 22 of an American satellite-controlled unpiloted-aircraft experiment, without establishing a connection to the two earlier observations. The adopted explanation for those observations was Mir.
