In January 2016, a witness in Vienne (France) observed a glowing object blinking between the stars. The person ruled out a satellite like the ISS or an Iridium flare due to the nature of the light. The object disappeared behind a house, indicating a movement direction toward the northwest. Although the testimony is unique and there are no images, investigators suggest it could be a satellite spinning rapidly, possibly malfunctioning. Several satellites or rocket stages in orbit matched the description, but the lack of precise details prevents a definite identification. The case is classified as B, meaning a likely misidentification with space objects.
