UFO Case in Camaret-sur-Aigues 2013

Summary

A witness reported a 30-minute observation on December 10, 2013, around 1 a.m. in Camaret-sur-Aigues. The object was a fixed bright point, possibly mistaken for the star Sirius in the southeast. The weather conditions included a strong Mistral wind, creating a clear but very turbulent atmosphere, ideal for stellar twinkling. The witness also noted another bright point in the direction of Orange, identified as the planet Venus. Photos taken with a 4-second exposure showed light zigzags caused by the operator's movements. Additionally, the witness mentioned bright points near the ground aligned with the Orange air base, possibly linked to base activities. The GEIPAN had difficulty obtaining precise directions of the observed points, preventing a definitive confirmation. The case was classified as "B", indicating a likely observation of the star Sirius.
