AnomalyOn January 24, 1977 at 6:17 a.m., three people see a column of vapor or smoke coming from the sky. A patch of foam is visible on the surface, indicating the fall of an object into the ocean about 4 km from the shore and about 8 to 10 km from the observation point. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon, and since the point of impact proved difficult to determine, no search was undertaken.
