Luminous ball observed in Caluire-et-Cuire

Summary

On November 20, 2014, an amateur astronomer in Caluire-et-Cuire (France) observed a small, bright, blurry ball through his telescope. The object, with warm tones and a trajectory consistent with that of the Cosmos 1636 satellite, caused some surprise in the witness. Although the testimony is unique and detailed, there are no other observers to confirm the hypothesis. The case is classified as B, suggesting it was likely an observation of the satellite surrounded by a cloud of gas. However, the witness's interpretation may be influenced by the rarity of the phenomenon and its low brightness.
