On July 3, 1992, at around 12:30 a.m., two 16-year-olds saw a red object shaped like a rugby ball surrounded by flames. After remaining stationary for a few seconds, the object dove very quickly toward the ground. The next day, the young people went to the presumed site of the fall and observed flattened wheat with marks on the ground. The investigation explained the flattened wheat and the marks as being due to severe weather (several fields were in the same condition) but did not yield any further information about this phenomenon.
