An account in Gironde, France

On October 12, 1977 at 5:45 a.m., a motorist observed in the sky an object surrounded by an orange halo, with vibrations or oscillations. No other testimony about this phenomenon was collected by the gendarmerie or the Floirac observatory (33). Although the testimony is very brief, this person probably observed the rising sun (which rose that day at 5:20 a.m.) through a cloud.
