AnomalyOn November 10, 1977, at around 7 p.m., witnesses in a restaurant in Kourou observed for a quarter of an hour a luminous object performing geometric figures in the sky. It disappeared while descending in a spiral. No aircraft movement and no launch of a balloon or sounding rocket were reported for that day. One witness came forward to the police station on November 11, 1977, to report that the previous day, at the time of the aforementioned facts, he had seen a kite equipped with a battery land in the parking lot of a hotel in the town. Despite the searches carried out, the owner of the kite was not found.
