Venus and Jupiter mistaken for a UFO in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Summary

In February 1999, several witnesses in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region observed static luminous points in the sky, three to four times larger than a star, which aroused curiosity. Investigators determined it was the conjunction of the planets Venus and Jupiter, an astronomical event that had been previously announced in the media. GEIPAN classified the case as A, with a fully identified explanation.
