AnomalyOn May 24, 1976, two witnesses observe in the sky the back-and-forth movements of a bright object of elongated shape leaving no trace in the sky. No noise will be heard during the observation, which will last two or three minutes. These witnesses probably observed the maneuvers of an aircraft on exercise, but the testimony remains very imprecise.
