La Réunion, France · 1982-07-05 · from the GEIPAN archive
On July 5, 1982 at around 7:30 p.m., a particular luminous phenomenon was observed by several witnesses. An orange ovoid mass scintillated while a point of variable intensity seemed to turn irregularly around this mass. The latter was much larger than a star. The phenomenon disappeared into a cloud formation. No other information was collected about this phenomenon.
