On September 26, 1983 at around 6:50 PM, a large number of witnesses scattered across the entire territory of French Polynesia were able to see a particular luminous phenomenon. A group of 6 to 8 points of different sizes and very bright moved at very high speed from West to East, leaving behind them luminous trails. The altitude of this group was estimated at 10,000 meters. No noise linked to the movement of this group was perceived during the observations. These witnesses probably witnessed an atmospheric reentry.
