Valras plage, sky lights observation

Summary

On March 24, 2012, an amateur astronomer in Valras plage observed an unusual aerial phenomenon. He saw four white lights moving silently and rapidly across the sky, from the star Capella to the constellation of the Big Dipper. The witness did not hear any sounds or see trails, which surprised him. Despite the clear nature of the observation, no other witnesses were reported. The GEIPAN, a French organization that investigates unidentified aerial phenomena, concluded it was likely a meteoroid or an unlisted space debris entering the atmosphere. Although not confirmed with certainty, the case classification as "B" suggests a natural explanation.
