Sphere over Ussac, Limousin · France
A conventional explanation is favored by the record but was never formally confirmed.
The report, as filed
Le vendredi 25 juin 2010 à 0h 50, un témoin observe, depuis la terrasse de son domicile, un phénomène lumineux qui l'intrigue. Durant une à deux minutes, cette personne suit le déplacement silencieux d'une lueur blanche, sphérique et très lumineuse. L'enquête confiée à un IPN permettra d'établir que le témoin a probablement suivi le passage de la Station Spatiale Internationale. [GEIPAN classification B — ISS]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 2010-06-02588). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
