Summary

On March 7, 2015, a driver and his passenger observed a luminous object in the sky near the D37 road in the Indre-et-Loire region of France. The phenomenon lasted about 3 to 4 minutes, and the passenger took a photograph. The driver noticed the object seemed to move along with his vehicle, creating confusion. However, investigators concluded it was an optical illusion caused by the observer's movement. The object turned out to be the star Capella, whose apparent movement was due to a misjudgment of its distance. Variations in brightness were attributed to hidden clouds, leading witnesses to interpret non-existent movements. This case was classified as "A" by the GEIPAN, indicating a clear observation of an astronomical phenomenon.
