AnomalyOn February 26, 1981 at around 6:30 p.m., several witnesses saw the passage of a particular luminous phenomenon in the sky for a few seconds. A circular shape of orange color moved from southwest to northeast, followed in its wake by a luminous trail. The descriptions and drawings made by the people indicate that they were probably witnesses to an atmospheric reentry.
