AnomalyOn January 15, 1989, shortly before 9:00 PM, after watching the weather forecast on television, which indicated that unusual observations of planets might be possible, a woman went outside with her children to observe the sky with high-magnification binoculars. She observed a bright luminous point that she described as a shimmering oval shape moving with a kind of "caterpillar" motion while shimmering. The gendarmes called to the scene saw a shimmering luminous point but could not determine a precise shape. It is likely that the witness observed a planet or a very bright star and that the reported effects were due to the movement of the high-magnification binoculars.
