Red lights in Alpes-Maritimes, France

On September 1, 1978 at 9:05 PM, the three members of the same family observe the passage of a red glow in the sky. It moves slowly between Mont Saint-Michel and Mont Angel. The observation lasts two to three minutes. No observation will be made by the gendarmes contacted immediately by telephone. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
