Case description

At about 04:00 during the night of Sunday 20 November 2011, a young scout in a municipal hall in Montgras saw a multicolored point of light through a window. He thought it moved slowly and then stopped. He heard no unusual sound during approximately 20 minutes of observation. An investigator commissioned to check the viewing directions on site found that the direction matched the position of the very bright star Sirius. GEIPAN acknowledges that the account does not exactly match a fixed star, but considers the discrepancy unsurprising in context: a 9-year-old child in an unfamiliar place, during his normal sleep period. It classifies the case as B: a probable sighting of Sirius.
