Case description
Two witnesses reported prolonged observations in the Belmont-sur-Rance (12) case. On 20 and 21 February 2012 around 20:20, a witness in Aveyron watched a particularly bright point move slowly in the west, using a still camera and a video camera to view and film it. Another witness in Tarn saw what he called an extremely bright star-like object.
GEIPAN identifies the light as Venus, particularly conspicuous then and strongly scintillating in the western sky as it set; see the sky chart. The case is classified A.
