Unexplained light in sky, unknown object crossing celestial vault… The idea of extra-terrestrials and space visitors is fantasizing. But the explanations are often simpler. Ball lightning, reentry of satellites or meteorites into the atmosphere, discotheque Lasers, rocket debris, Thai lantern, or even the reflection of the sun or moon in the clouds. In May 2021, many Nord-Isere residents reported numerous bright spots that betrayed Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite-train.

Witnesses can include individuals, pilots of airline, astronomers, soldiers, and anyone else who has witnessed an unidentified space phenomenon. The Geipan (Group for Studies and Information on Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena), receives approximately 1,000 reports every year. It opens 150 to 200 investigations and posts the results online.
