An orange orb in Sarthe, France

In the night of March 2 to 3, 1989, two witnesses are driving their car when it stops and the headlights go out suddenly. The witnesses then observe a fireball emitting an intense orange-red light and moving from west to east. After it crossed the car, the car starts again by itself. The witnesses are very shocked by this mishap and wonder if they were not dreaming. Following an article in the local press, a resident of Le Mans contacts the witnesses to explain that she also saw an orange fireball in the night of March 2 to 3 around 1:30 a.m. which greatly frightened her dog, and confirms to them that they were not dreaming.
