AnomalyOn July 13, 1976 at 5:45 a.m., two witnesses finishing their night shift in a quarry suddenly observe in the sky the appearance of a stationary white sphere that gradually grows larger. The observation lasts 4 to 5 seconds, then the phenomenon disappears. No noise is heard. According to the gendarmerie investigation, the observers were in the highest place in the region and they had a very wide field of vision. The weather was sunny and there were no clouds. The phenomenon was directly above the Vaucouleurs hillside at a distance of about 8 km. At this date and time, it is likely that these people witnessed a reflection phenomenon from the sun that had just risen.
