AnomalyOn December 10, 1976 at 10:10 PM, a witness observed the passage from east to northeast of a luminous point moving silently at a speed equivalent to that of a shooting star. Ovoid in shape and silvery in color, the phenomenon left no luminous trail. Visible for a few seconds, it disappeared, hidden by the landscape. On December 11 at 1 AM, a military man observed for 3 to 4 minutes the passage from north to south of an ovoid object at high altitude leaving a luminous trail. It is highly probable that these witnesses saw atmospheric re-entries.
