Unspecified over Vigneux-Sur-Seine, Ile-de-France · France
Resolved to a known cause by an investigating body, with the identification on the record.
The report, as filed
Le mardi 31 août 2010, vers 21h, un témoin attablé en train de dîner, aperçoit un point lumineux très brillant à travers la fenêtre ouverte de sa salle à manger. Intrigué de ce qu'il nomme "un petit soleil", il filmera son observation. Il fera d'autres observations similaires. De faible étrangeté mais de bonne consistance du fait des vidéos, nous pouvons classer sans ambiguité ce cas d’observation en A comme méprise avec la planète Vénus. [GEIPAN classification A — Vénus]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 2010-08-02759). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
