On June 7, 1978, at around 8:55 p.m., a motorist and his female passenger observe in the distance (about 5 km away) a luminous point that intrigues them. At 9:15 p.m., a luminous orange disk, oscillating, begins its slow vertical ascent and disappears into the clouds. Only a colored trail remains visible. Following the publication of this observation in the press, one person testifies to having seen, on the same date and between 9:30 and 9:45 p.m., a yellowish-orange luminous phenomenon of circular shape in the sky. These observations remain unexplained for lack of precise details.
