AnomalyOn January 26, 1981 at around 11:15 PM, a CB radio user in his car noticed, in the clear and cloudless sky, a flash lasting 3 seconds. Intrigued, he leaned out of his car door and then saw a white luminous point that, as it descended, quickly grew larger. The observation lasted 6 to 7 seconds. The light emitted then became significant and then suddenly went out. The little information gathered in this description nevertheless indicates the observation of a probable atmospheric reentry.
