Case description

On 17 August 2013 at about 23:00, 2 people at Pontarlier saw a very bright light moving silently along a straight path. GEIPAN considers the description entirely consistent with the International Space Station. Calsky.com passage data showed that the station was visible from Pontarlier at 23:15 that evening, consistent with the witness's explicitly approximate time. GEIPAN classifies the case A: the ISS.
