Red lights in Calvados, France

On July 19, 1998 at around 11 p.m., several witnesses successively observed three red lights rising into the sky before falling back gently. One of these phenomena reportedly caused a fire. The investigation quickly showed that these were expired distress flare launches carried out by a private individual.
