AnomalyOn August 3, 1976, at around 11:45 a.m., a farmer noticed in the sky the slow movement of a cylindrical-shaped device with an aluminum color that shone constantly. The observation lasted 30 minutes before the object disappeared at the horizon. During the neighborhood investigation, several people recognized in the description made of the object an advertising balloon for a tire manufacturer, seen several times on the same day.
