RIOUX (17) 09.08.2012

A witness in Rioux (17) reported a very bright phenomenon moving slowly on the evenings of 8 and 9 August 2012. GEIPAN considers the description and times fully compatible with International Space Station (ISS) passes. It gives Calsky intervals of 21:31–21:40 and 23:06–23:15 on 8 August, then 22:13–22:24 and 23:50–23:57 on 9 August, to compare with reported observations around 22:30 and 23:30. These differing times are retained as given in the source. GEIPAN classifies the case A: 2 successive ISS passes on each of 2 successive evenings.
