AnomalyRecent testimony (11/09/1979) of an old observation made in 1937 in the east of Martinique (the witness no longer remembers the day and month; January 1st is a date given arbitrarily). The witness reports having seen at 6 p.m. the West-East passage of a globe well lit by the setting sun, advancing slowly. The witness describes the phenomenon as having a diameter greater than the Moon. The phenomenon gradually disappears at the horizon. The observation lasted nearly a minute. No other testimony was collected. GEIPAN classifies the case as C: lack of precision.
