Following a press article, the gendarmerie investigated on October 1, 1975, the observation by several witnesses of a large orange phenomenon seen in the distance in the sky over the municipalities of Elesnes-Assevent-Boussois and Vieux-Reng on Friday, September 26, 1975. The gendarmerie investigation found two people with contradictory testimonies. The photographs taken by one of the witnesses and sent to the press turned out to be blank. These people probably observed a phenomenon linked to the metallurgical region of Charleroi in Belgium, which lies on the trajectory indicated by the witnesses. This case is classified as B.
