CHAULGNES (58) 19.04.2012

On 19 April 2012 at about 22:40, a witness saw a very bright point in the north-northwest sky. Initially stationary, it then appeared to move. In its analysis, the source instead gives the witness's direction as west/northwest, corresponding to Venus at 15° above the horizon. The reported movements were clearly inconsistent with that explanation. An airplane was also considered, but radar tracks could not be obtained in time. Given the insufficient information, GEIPAN classified this case of low strangeness as C.
