UFO seen in France in 2013

Summary

In August 2013, a teenager at a summer camp observed two bright points in the sky moving in a straight line and blinking. The detailed and well-documented testimony allowed GEIPAN researchers to consider several possibilities. After consulting the Calsky website, experts ruled out the International Space Station (ISS) due to its much greater brightness. Instead, they considered two military NOSS satellites, whose trajectory matched the witness's description, despite a small time discrepancy. Although this explanation had a minor inconsistency, researchers concluded it was plausible.

The case was classified as type B, indicating that a conventional explanation was not ruled out. NOSS satellites, while less bright, can reflect sunlight irregularly, which could explain the blinking observed. Although the testimony mentioned a slightly different time, the described trajectory perfectly matched that of the satellites. This case shows how a detailed observation can help researchers rule out unexplained phenomena and find a plausible explanation.
