One evening in 1973 around 11 p.m., a child with his parents observed multicolored lights above Magenta Bay in Nouméa. These lights were stationary above the sea. Thinking it was an aircraft movement, the witnesses were very astonished, passing in front of the aerodrome, to note that it was completely closed. After investigation the next day, no aircraft or helicopter movement had been made across the whole island. The witness mentions other people having made similar observations that same night, but no other information was collected on this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
