Initial data
In June 2012, after dark, a man named Antoine noticed what he describes as an amazing phenomenon in the cloudless sky. This phenomenon lasted about 10 minutes.
Indications:
"It was June 20, 2012 (I'm not quite sure of the date to 1 day) around 23:00 in the sky of Nantes (Chantenay district).
I looked at the stars in the cloudless sky.
I noticed a star that was bigger than the rest and raspolozena the right of a group of stars called the Large Medvedeva. This is an indication of the group of stars is not 100% accurate, because I have no special knowledge in the field of astronomy and maybe I'm wrong.
I looked at this big star a few times nothing special, of course, she was more than all the rest, but there was nothing strange: she did not move and always maintained the same view.
At some point I looked back at star and saw that she was completely out. The disappearance was stable: the star disappeared, decreasing, until it became invisible. The extinction phase lasted about 2 seconds.
I unsuccessfully looked for it in the sky for the next half an hour. In the following days about 23 hours I looked at the sky: I've never seen that big star.
I would like to know if my observation match observation of the ISS or any satellite."

Original news
En juin 2012, la nuit tombée, un homme prénommé Antoine a observé ce qu’il décrit comme étant un « phénomène surprenant » dans un ciel dénué de nuage. Ce phénomène aurait duré environ 10 minutes. Le témoin s’est longuement posé de questions sur ce qu’il avait vu, mais il ne semble pas encore avoir obtenu de réponses satisfaisantes …
Témoignage :
« C’était le 20 juin 2012 (je ne suis pas absolument certain de la date à 1 jour près) vers 23H00 dans le ciel de Nantes (quartier de Chantenay).
Je regardais les étoiles dans un ciel sans nuage.
J’avais repéré depuis une dizaine de minutes une étoile plus grosse que les autres, située à droite du groupe d’étoiles dites de grande charriot (ou de la grande casserole). Cette indication sur le groupe d’étoiles n’est pas fiable à 100%, n’ayant pas de connaissance particulière en astronomie il est possible que je me trompe.
J’ai regardé cette grosse étoile à plusieurs reprises : rien de particulier, certes elle était plus grosse que toutes les autres, mais il n’y avait rien de bizarre : elle ne bougeait pas et elle conservait toujours le même aspect.
A un moment donné, je regardais de nouveau la grosse étoile, et je l’ai vu s’éteindre totalement. L’extinction a été régulière : l’étoile a disparu en rétrécissant jusqu’à devenir invisible. La phase d’extinction a duré environ 2 secondes.
J’ai scruté le ciel sans succès pendant la demi-heure qui a suivi. Les jours suivants vers 23H j’ai scruté le ciel : je n’ai jamais revu la grosse étoile.
J’aimerais savoir si mon observation peut correspondre à l’observation de l’ISS ou d’un quelconque satellite. »
Hypotheses
Meteor
Meteor, "shooting star" is a phenomenon that occurs when small meteor bodies (for example, fragments of comets or asteroids) burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. A similar phenomenon of greater intensity (brighter than magnitude -4) it's called a fireball.
Satellite
Ordinary satellites, which often look like single, not very bright luminous dots moving smoothly in the night sky, are quite often mistaken for UFOs. After the Starlink satellites (near-Earth satellite systems developed by SpaceX, in order to create a cheap and high-performance satellite Internet communication channel and technical transmitters for receiving and transmitting signals from earth and orbit) were launched, it became possible to observe groups of satellites (up to 60 pieces) flying one after another.
Investigation
It may be a meteoroid, heading straight for the observer or a geostationary satellite.
