An account in Mayenne, France

On February 21, 1985, at around 10 p.m., two witnesses observed a peculiar luminous phenomenon: a yellow, very bright glowing ball that changed color to bright red. For 20 minutes, the witnesses observed a stationary and silent phenomenon that gradually disappeared. The main witness, as well as several other people, were also able to make this observation on the following nights. This was probably the observation of a star that was particularly visible in the clear sky of those winter nights.
