AnomalyOn August 3, 1981 at around 10:55 p.m., a witness observed for approximately 40 seconds, and at less than 400 meters from him, a flying object moving very slowly and close to the ground. As it passed, a halo of light illuminated the landscape. This object was rounded in shape toward the front and emitted a large flame of several colors. The object moved on an east-west trajectory with a slight downward tilt toward the ground. Fearing it would hit the mountain, the witness expected to hear an impact sound, but nothing happened. During the investigation, no other information was gathered that could provide an explanation for this observation.
