On Sunday 17 August 2014 around 22:40, a witness in Bergerac watched a white light move through the sky for 5 minutes. Other people also saw it, but only 1 account was obtained. The description strongly suggested a large satellite. A Calsky check confirmed that the International Space Station was clearly visible at that time, travelling northwest to east as reported. GEIPAN classifies this fully identified sighting A: the ISS.
