Satellite reflections in Saône-et-Loire

Summary

On September 7, 2015, a witness in Saône-et-Loire observed two brief flashes in the clear sky, separated by a few seconds. Although only one testimony was collected, it was considered sufficiently consistent to warrant investigation. After a detailed analysis, researchers concluded it was a misinterpretation of satellite reflections. The identified satellite was Globalstar 56, whose trajectory and timing perfectly matched the witness's description. This case was classified as "A," meaning a misidentification of a natural phenomenon. Despite the simplicity of the report, the precision in identifying the satellite highlights the rigor of the investigation.
