AnomalyOn September 5, 1976, at around 7:22 a.m., a person observed from the 15th floor of their building a luminous phenomenon in the sky that intrigued them. For about ten minutes, the witness observed, in a southeasterly direction, the presence above the hills of Sarrouilles (65) of a red luminous line before it disappeared toward the east. No other testimony was collected about this phenomenon. The gendarmerie investigation revealed that the observation made on September 5 was probably directly related to the passage of a weather balloon that remained in the air after its payload was released in a field at Soues. The winds were calm on September 4 and 5, 1976, and the two towns are roughly located in the same direction, southeast of Tarbes.
