In May 2012, a witness in Saint-Maixent-sur-Vie (France) reported several sightings of luminous objects in the sky. These objects, described as bright like stars, moved in zigzags, accelerated, and changed altitude without making any noise. The key dates were May 12, 15, and June 5, with sightings matching reflections from satellites such as Iridium and Metop. Researchers concluded that the apparent movements were optical illusions caused by micro-movements in human vision. This case was classified as "A", meaning it was explained as sunlight reflections on satellites.
