Red lights in Drôme, France

On July 8, 1978 at around 11:40 PM, a witness observed the passage from north to south of an elongated flying object. Located by the witness at an altitude of roughly between 1000 and 2000 meters, it was composed of a set of four non-radiating red balls. No noise was heard during the short-duration observation. No other testimony was collected on this case, for which we lack information.
