AnomalyOn September 20, 1985 at around 7:15 a.m., two witnesses saw in the sky a bright object of circular shape, stationary, resembling a star. During this fairly long observation, one of the witnesses, equipped with binoculars, saw the object flatten out and take on a cigar shape. From one of the ends, a bright point seemed to detach itself and moved at low speed, leaving behind it bright turbulence. Two to three minutes later, the phenomenon resumed its initial shape. Around 7:40 a.m., clouds definitively hid the phenomenon. No other information could be gathered about this phenomenon.
