An account in Polynésie française, France

On September 26, 1983 between 6:48 PM and 7:00 PM, several witnesses were able to observe the movement of luminous points of different sizes and colors. This movement at high altitude and at rapid speed occurred without any noise. During the observations, which lasted from one to several minutes, these luminous points left colored trails behind them. These descriptions made by the witnesses make it possible to favor the hypothesis of a relatively significant atmospheric reentry.
