AnomalyOn January 10, 1976, between 7:50 and 8:50 a.m., two people observed a very bright spherical object above the horizon. The witnesses noted that the object remained stationary. It gradually became invisible with sunrise. The police, contacted quickly, observed no object in the sky that morning or the next morning. No other testimony was collected. Based on the descriptions gathered, the witnesses probably observed a weather balloon.
