On February 23, 1981, a witness leaving their home saw two large glowing balls in the sky. For a few seconds, they emitted a very intense and blinding light. Very surprised by the phenomenon, the witness saw these balls light up again a few seconds later in the same place before disappearing for good. The witness states that since this observation, they have had health problems (a constant state of fatigue, malaise). No other testimony was collected about this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
