AnomalyOn December 7, 1976, at around 5:45 p.m., a bus driver and several schoolchildren saw, on two occasions, the movement in the sky of a luminous spherical phenomenon. The object, very bright, above the sea, moved slowly toward the land before disappearing. One of the hypotheses considered is that of the observation of an astronomical object. But no other more precise information was gathered about this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
