UFO sighted in Rumilly identified as the ISS

Summary

In April 2009, a witness in Rumilly (France) observed a very bright ball silently crossing the sky in a straight line. The description of the object included a clear trajectory and a fast but regular speed. Although he tried to photograph the phenomenon, the images turned out to be unusable. After a careful review with the orbital data of the International Space Station (ISS), researchers concluded that the sighting definitely corresponded to the passage of the ISS. This case, classified as "A" by the GEIPAN, shows how even known space objects can generate striking testimonies.
