🇫🇷 GEIPAN / CNES
In August 2012, a family in Draguignan observed a luminous object slowly and silently moving across the starry sky. The object's light gradually faded until it disappeared. Witnesses accurately described what appeared to be the International Space Station (ISS). Data from the Calsky platform confirmed that the observed trajectory matched that of the ISS on that day. In the provided images, white balls represent the successive positions of the station, with larger size indicating greater brightness. Initially, the apparent movement was slow, but as the ISS moved eastward, it entered Earth's shadow and became invisible. This case was classified as "A", meaning a confirmed observation of the ISS.
