Summary

In June 2012, a witness in Paris observed a silent bright point in the sky and recorded it. Initially, other explanations like an airplane or a Thai lantern were considered, but they were ruled out. The object was finally identified as the International Space Station (ISS), passing over Paris. The ISS appeared exactly as described by the witness, reaching its highest point at 22:51, matching the reported time. This case was classified as "A", indicating a clear and verifiable ISS observation.
