AnomalyOn August 9, 1997 at around 10:40 p.m., a witness who was observing the sky with his nephew was intrigued by the passage of a very bright luminous point moving slowly. The duration of the observation was on the order of 30 to 40 seconds. The observation was silent. We have only little information available, but we can assume that the witness probably saw the passage of an aircraft or a satellite.
