AnomalyOn December 7, 1977, at around 6:45 p.m., several people observed the passage of a luminous phenomenon in the sky. It moved from west to east without any particular noise being heard. The phenomenon appeared as an elongated shape emitting a white light. Then, along its trajectory, this shape gave way to a red luminous point that gradually faded and disappeared. During the investigation, the gendarmerie found no trace on the ground of the phenomenon's passage. One witness also reported having seen, on December 4 at around 10:15 p.m., the passage of an orange-colored ball in the sky. While these testimonies resemble descriptions of observations of atmospheric re-entries, the information concerning these phenomena remains too imprecise to validate this hypothesis.
