AnomalyOn July 22, 1978 at around 11:45 PM, several people observed in the sky a very bright yellow-orange luminous phenomenon emitting rays. For 15 minutes, one witness observed the phenomenon with binoculars before it disappeared. Due to the direction of observation and the position of Venus, particularly visible at that time of year, it can be said that the witnesses made an astronomical observation.
