AnomalyOn June 28, 1989 at around 12:40 AM, a witness observed from their home a luminous point moving rapidly (faster than an airplane) on the horizon along a straight trajectory from southwest to northeast. The phenomenon was silent and eventually disappeared, leaving a halo and a trail of smoke that persisted for several minutes. The same observation of an orange-colored point that disappeared leaving a small persistent cloud was made by another witness about fifteen kilometers further south. Given the notice broadcast to navigators by the Brest oceanographic service of possible fallout, during the night of June 27 to 28, of missiles fired from the Landes Test Center, the hypothesis of observing one of these launches is the most likely.
