Prolonged luminous phenomenon in Decazeville

Summary

In May 2008, a witness in Decazeville (Aveyron) watched a luminous phenomenon in the sky for over 50 minutes, using binoculars and recording the event. The footage clearly showed an aircraft approaching with all lights on. The area is known for military tactical aviation training, leading GEIPAN to classify the case as a probable sighting of military aircraft on exercise. The long duration suggests the witness may have seen several successive aircraft or overestimated the observation time.
