AnomalyOn August 6, 1998 at around 10:40 p.m., a man in a car is listening to music and looking at the sky. He then observes a luminous shape moving rapidly in a south-north direction. The observation lasts 15 to 20 seconds. The investigation with the aviation authorities reveals the passage of a passenger plane as well as an unidentified radar track at the time of the observation. The end time of this track corresponds to the time of the witness's observation. No formal proof, but it is likely that the witness's observation was an aircraft.
