BEUSTE (64) 23.08.2015

On 23 August 2015 at 22:25, 2 witnesses in Beuste (64) saw a light moving at constant speed. Small repeated changes of direction—north, then northwest, then north again—intrigued them. Only 1 questionnaire was completed. GEIPAN finds moderate strangeness but sufficient evidential support from many coherent, precise details. The investigation identifies a satellite passage, while leaving 2 likely candidates: IGS 5 H2A rocket, whose brightness matches and path is very close, and the uncontrolled Iridium 16 satellite, whose path and apparent speed match. GEIPAN classifies the case A: misidentification of a satellite, although its exact identity remains uncertain.
