On September 13, 1985, at around 3 p.m., several witnesses, including police officers, spotted for a few minutes a bright white mass that moved silently along the marked path leading to the volcano. This object, shaped like a boomerang, had oscillating movements: it suddenly gained altitude and took on a spherical shape before disappearing without leaving any trace. After an article appeared in the press on this subject, a person came forward to testify to the same observation made on August 6, 1985, a few kilometers away. No additional information has come to confirm any of the local police's hypotheses.
