On October 9, 1977, from 8:30 PM until 11:30 PM, several people including police officers observed the movements of a luminous phenomenon of varied colors that did not match the stars. Another luminous phenomenon was observed the same day around 9 PM by one witness. This witness reported a ground-level observation of two intensely white and symmetrical light jets. A third observation on October 12, 1977 at 7:45 PM was reported: one witness observed for two seconds a phenomenon that illuminated its entire surroundings and consisted of light jets with colors like a firework sun. The police investigation made no connection between the observations, for which we lack information.
