GEIPAN attachment: a CalSky celestial-calendar printout listing 31 satellite transits visible from Etrelles (lat 48°03'36"N, lon 1°11'38"W) during the hour starting 22h50m18s on 1 June 2014, used by investigators to check whether the witnesses' dark mass with two faint lights matched a satellite pass.
GEIPAN attachment: a CalSky celestial-calendar printout listing 31 satellite transits visible from Etrelles (lat 48°03'36"N, lon 1°11'38"W) during the hour starting 22h50m18s on 1 June 2014, used by investigators to check whether the witnesses' dark mass with two faint lights matched a satellite pass.
This is part 2 of GEIPAN case 2014-06-50078 (Etrelles, Ille-et-Vilaine, 1 June 2014, classification D1 unexplained), consisting of a 7-page CalSky printout generated 7 July 2014 that enumerates 31 satellite and rocket-body passes over the observer site for the one-hour window beginning 22h50m18s local. Each entry gives appearance time, culmination, azimuth, altitude, magnitude, range, height above Earth, solar elevation, and angular velocity. The list ranges from bright passes such as the ISS (-2.0 mag at 23h22m30s) and Dragon 22B (4.3 mag at 23h17m34s) down to dim debris near magnitude 9. The printout is the astronomical cross-check GEIPAN ran against the witnesses' report of a dark mass with two small faint lights that accelerated to vertiginous speed before disappearing.

We know that you only care for a very few of these events and hence we let you personalize your own Astro-Calendar. You may primarily do so by switching to your appropriate user level, and by selecting some of the three dozens categories. In parentheses are forced limits for the maximum calculation interval. The celestial calendar is to be found further below on this page and will appear within some seconds after pressing the Go! -Button (depending on the complexity of your selections). The calendar is created especially for you. The higher your user level, the more complex objects you selected, the longer it does take to calculate. Please do not press the reload-button ; the calculations will take significantly longer.

Create new default account/Logout noon, 18h: 6 pm.) WGS84 / Geographical Coordinates Geographical coordinates are given by the angles longitude (Lon), latitude (Lat), and altitude in meters (Alt). A place north of the equator at marked by N or +, places south of the equator by S or -. The longitude from the meridian of Greenwich is counted positive towards east (E). Places west from Greenwich are marked W or by -. The geographical coordinates refer to an ellipsoid, which fits the true shape of the Earth (geoid). The geoid corresponds to calm sea surface. The keyword "Geographic:" uses the local ellipsoid as reference system. WGS84 mark coordinates referring to the WGS84 ellipsoid. The difference in altitude to the geoid sums up to 100 meters and is called geoid undulation. This is corrected for when tagged "MSL" (mean sea level), such that the origin of the height system is at sea level.

The first figure indicates the visual brightness of the object. The smaller the number, the brighter and more eye-catching it appears to an observer. The units are astronomical magnitudes [m]. Azimuth is given in degrees counting from geographic north clockwise to the east direction. The three-character direction code is given as well. In case the satellite exits from the Earth shadow and comes into the glare of the Sun, the elevation above horizon is given in degrees for this event. If this figure is omitted, the satellite is visible straight from the horizon. at Meridian Time of the transit of the meridian, i.e. the satellite is due South or due North. At this time, the satellite will not reach its highest point of the pass. Look for culmination. Azimuth/az Azimuth direction of the object is given in degrees counting from geographic north (0°) clockwise to the east direction. East is 90°, south 180°, and west 270°. The three-character direction code is given as well. For example, NNW stands for north- north-west. Culmination Time at which the satellite reaches his highest point in the sky as seen from the observer. For description of the figures see Appears . Visually "better" passes of satellites are indicated by highlighting the information. The selection within the list of all possible transits is coupled with the observer level, the daylight, and several other conditions. Disappears Local time of visual disappearance of the satellite. This may either be the time at which the satellite moves below the observer's horizon or the entry of the object in the shadow of Earth (the elevation is given for this event). The low Earth orbiting (LEO) satellites are usually visible for about 10 seconds more than the listed time, when they start fading rapidly. International Space Station ISS The manned ISS is according to NASA the biggest and most complex scientific project in history. During twilight passed, the space station is easily seen by everyone as a strikingly bright and silently running star. It crosses the sky in a few minutes basically from west to east. Time and Date Date of validity of calculated output in local time and date, taking into account daylight saving time as well (see the current time zone on the left of the Earth icon on top right of almost all pages). The time is given as hours:minutes:seconds, or 00h00m00s. The time may also be rounded and given in decimal form, in order to correspond to the accuracy of the calculation: e.g., 10.1h means that the event will take place at about 5 minutes past 10 o'clock. This may also happen for days: 4.3d corresponds to the fourth day at around 7 o'clock. The start time is taken as selected by you, i.e., this is not necessarily at midnight. For intervals shorter than one day, decimal days are given. Times are given in 24 hour format (0h00m is midnight, 12h: Celestial Calendar at CalSky http://www.calsky.com/cs.cgi 6 sur 7 07/07/2014 11:49

A place north of the equator at marked by N or +, places south of the equator by S or -. The longitude from the meridian of Greenwich is counted positive towards east (E). Places west from Greenwich are marked W or by -. The geographical coordinates refer to an ellipsoid, which fits the true shape of the Earth (geoid). The geoid corresponds to calm sea surface. The keyword "Geographic:" uses the local ellipsoid as reference system. WGS84 mark coordinates referring to the WGS84 ellipsoid. The difference in altitude to the geoid sums up to 100 meters and is called geoid undulation. This is corrected for when tagged "MSL" (mean sea level), such that the origin of the height system is at sea level.
