Summary

On September 6, 2015, a man in his garden observed a luminous point moving from south to north. Initially thought to be a satellite, he noticed it stopped, resumed its path, and then made a half-loop. After another brief pause, the object disappeared quickly. The testimony is unique and lacks images or precise data, limiting verification. Investigators suggest it could have been a satellite followed almost immediately by a meteor from the Kappa Cygnides shower. The vertical observation and the observer’s uncomfortable position might have distorted perception, interpreting two separate events as one. Although the case has some oddity, it is classified as a possible misinterpretation of natural phenomena.
