An account in Isère, France

On January 13, 1976, at around 11 p.m., a witness observed through binoculars the movement of an object of elongated shape and red color. No noise was heard, and the object disappeared gradually. This same witness made the same observation on January 15 at the same time. The gendarmerie made similar observations on January 17 and 18 between 10:50 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., along a SSE-NNW trajectory. The descriptions collected are similar to descriptions of satellite passage observations, but we lack data to validate this hypothesis.
