Red lights in Somme, France
After a night of work, a motorist sees a red ball appear above his car. A luminous ray forces him to leave the main road. The witness gets out of his vehicle and walks toward the red ball until it disappears. Terrified, he joins a farmer in the field bordering the road. The farmer did not see the phenomenon but would state, during the investigation, that at the location of the observation one can see the rising sun in the form of a red ball. The investigation concludes that several factors such as fatigue and glare from the rising sun are at the origin of the optical illusion, the fear, and the driver's change of direction.
