Case description

An account submitted in February 2016 concerns an observation in the second half of September 2015. The exact day is unknown; the catalog day was arbitrary. A woman aboard a moored boat saw a point of light through an open skylight, apparently at very high altitude. It suddenly stopped, moved off rapidly and repeated this pattern, ascending in steps. Only 1 account was collected. Similar reports have reached GEIPAN and may result from combined effects such as satellites entering or leaving visibility and autokinetic illusion. Without the exact date, further investigation is impossible. GEIPAN classifies the case C: insufficient information.
