An account in Pyr�n�es-Orientales, France

On September 19, October 3, and October 27, 1981, witnesses sighted, in the same Franco-Spanish border area, a luminous object moving in the sky between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. The direction of this object for the three observations is north-south, and the color red is indicated by the three witnesses. The very thorough investigation by the gendarmes made it possible to rule out confusion with known aircraft passages or a celestial body, but did not make it possible to identify the phenomenon.
