AnomalyOn January 9, 1976 at 7:50 a.m., a motorist and his wife observed the movements of a bright object in the sky. This object, shaped like a balloon with a truncated top, moved slowly and horizontally along a sea-to-mountain trajectory, following the contours of the ground. It disappeared into the landscape. No other testimony was collected. Based on the description given, these witnesses probably observed the movement of a balloon at sunrise.
