AnomalyOn January 26, 1983, between 6:55 and 7:08 a.m., several witnesses in the Bouches-du-Rhône saw a white luminous ball moving horizontally. This ball was followed by a colored trail. The observations, lasting between 4 and 45 seconds, allowed the witnesses to notice the total absence of noise and a very high speed. This phenomenon disappeared into the landscape. No other information could be gathered about this phenomenon, which according to the testimonies resembles an atmospheric reentry.
