Case description

On September 8, 2009, at 9:14 p.m., a witness saw a bright, non-flashing light move rapidly from west to east along a straight path. GEIPAN considered the appearance minimally unusual but the description too brief for a detailed investigation. An ISS passage above the southern horizon, west to east from 9:07 to 9:14 p.m., provided a strong match. The case was classified B: probable observation of the International Space Station.
