On March 25, 2009 between 8:43 and 8:44 a.m., two walkers observe the movement at low altitude of a large white ball that disappears behind the mountain massif of the Dent de Rez. The witness specifies by letter of April 3, 2009 that what he photographed is indeed a signaling ball, but that he saw something else: this could be Venus, present near the eastern horizon that day. An actual measurement of the movement by alignment on fixed objects would have made it possible to remove this doubt. But since the observation point is not precisely known, this hypothesis cannot be confirmed.
