An account in Puy-de-Dôme, France

On the evening of September 11, 1997, as well as the following day, witnesses reported a shimmering luminous point in the sky. The phenomenon was silent, moving very slowly across the sky and was the size of a star. It produced a red halo and shimmered in several colors. The observation lasted about an hour and a half. This observation is probably that of the path of a celestial body.
