The witness reported seeing a pale, relatively close-appearing light that moved erratically within a specific area of the sky, with sharp and fast changes in direction.
Claim #7749 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“A ‘pale’ star, of low brightness but easily distinguishable, which gives the impression of being relatively close... It moves erratically, like a fly, within a specific area of the sky (a sphere 500 meters in diameter). The changes in direction are sharp—not an astronomical speed, but nevertheless fast.”

The recorded video was considered unusable because the device was probably unsuitable for night vision and an illuminated porch interfered with focusing and exposure.
Claim #7753 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“The witness made a video which, unfortunately, is unusable: the device used was probably not suitable for night vision, and the nearby presence of the illuminated white porch disrupted the camera by preventing it from focusing correctly in the distance and by closing the aperture somewhat more than necessary to limit the amount of incoming light, with the ef…”

Visibility was 20 km, which the source states may have prevented the witness from seeing that the beam originated from the ground.
Claim #7756 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“Visibility, for its part, was 20 km, which may explain why the witness was unable to see that the beam originated from the ground, contributing to the strangeness of the observation.”
