On August 5, 1991, at around 2:20 a.m., two police officers on patrol observed a red sphere about 80 cm in diameter moving very quickly and silently about fifteen meters above the ground. The duration of the phenomenon was very brief. The statements of the two police officers are consistent, and the phenomenon could not be identified.
