AnomalyOn November 20, 1981 at around 6 p.m., several witnesses observed in the sky a luminous ball followed by a multicolored trail. This ball moved at very high speed, crossing the sky in a south-to-north direction. The observation lasted 15 to 30 seconds in a clear sky. One of the witnesses heard a whistling sound. These people were probably witnesses to an atmospheric reentry.
