On September 7, 1997, at around 2 a.m., a couple watching a fireworks display observed a luminous phenomenon stationary to the right of the fireworks. At the same time, in another town, another couple made the same observation. One of the witnesses filmed the phenomenon, which seemed to be very close, about ten meters above the ground. The investigation conducted jointly by the gendarmerie and SEPRA showed without ambiguity that the observed phenomenon was the moon under particular conditions (cloudy sky and beginning of an eclipse).
