Summary

A witness described in 2014 an observation from 1986 in Noyon, France, where he saw bright points crossing the sky from north to south in 12 minutes. Although the exact date was not specified, August 8 was assumed arbitrarily. The description suggests artificial satellites, common at that time. However, the zigzag trajectory reported by the witness does not fit this hypothesis. It is explained by the autokinetic illusion, a common phenomenon in night observations. The impression of high speed is attributed to the satellite entering Earth's shadow. Due to the lack of a precise date, the GEIPAN could not verify which satellite was involved, leaving the case in category "C".
