On June 6, 1976, between 5:40 a.m. and 7:20 a.m., a witness observed the high-altitude movement of a luminous ovoid object. The object appeared to be made up of two luminous parts of unequal sizes but seemingly connected to each other. It moved slowly in an East-West direction. No other testimony was collected. This person was probably a witness to the passage of a stratospheric balloon.
