Static round object toward the southeast in Saint-Quantin-de-Rançanne

Summary

On January 9, 2009, two witnesses in Saint-Quantin-de-Rançanne observed a round object that appeared static in the southeastern sky. One of them noticed colour changes. Only one witness contacted GEIPAN by email and did not attach the mentioned photograph. Investigators suggested the object might have been the star Sirius, known for its colour shifts when observed in that direction. Lack of additional information prevented confirmation, and the case was classified as C due to insufficient data.
