Luminous object at Levernois identified as the MIR space station

Summary

In February 1995, three members of a family in Levernois (Côte-d'Or), including a twelve-year-old child, watched for two to three minutes an object they described as a bright white star. They did not fully agree on how it moved. After reviewing the case, GEIPAN concluded it was most likely the MIR space station, whose trajectory, speed and direction matched that night's observation.

There were some contradictions between the testimonies, particularly the child's, which may have influenced the parents' perception. Precise data such as angles or detailed chronology were lacking. Nonetheless, the explanation was deemed the most probable and the case was reclassified from D to B.
