AnomalyOn August 19, 1990, at around 10:45 p.m., the owner of a farm observed above a building a stationary red shape, then a green one. Frightened, he went back inside the house. A fireworks display was set off the same day during the same time slot and may be the cause of the sighting. The following year, in order to validate this hypothesis, the gendarmes returned to the farm to observe the effects of the fireworks. The witness did not recognize the sightings from the previous year, but he was not placed in the same conditions (he knew what he was going to see), and the fireworks hypothesis remains the preferred one.
