An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Eure, France

On November 15, 1977 at around 6:45 a.m., a witness on a moped suddenly spotted in the sky an elongated-shaped craft moving rapidly toward the northwest. A few moments later, the witness observed the craft burst into a shower of sparks falling back toward the ground, revealing a multi-colored ball that continued in the same direction before disappearing completely. No particular noise was heard during the observation. Another witness at the same time saw a luminous phenomenon followed by a long trail of several colors. The gendarmerie found no trace on the ground in the area concerned. No other testimony was collected on this phenomenon. These witnesses probably witnessed an atmospheric reentry.
