On Tuesday, December 14, 1976, between 1:15 and 1:27 in the morning, a motorist noticed an unusual glow above the airport. A ball of intense white moved laterally and slowly, followed by a second one. They first came to a stop before rising rapidly and disappearing. The gendarmerie investigation determined that this person had witnessed the release of a weather balloon: all of his remarks perfectly described the balloon's maneuvers.
