On December 13, 1977, between 7:00 PM and 7:30 PM, several witnesses in different regions of France observed the rapid East-West passage across the sky of a luminous phenomenon of circular shape followed by a trail. Most of these observations lasted a few seconds and no particular noise was heard. Given the descriptions provided, these people were probably witnesses to an atmospheric reentry.
