AnomalyOn September 4, 1978, at around 10 p.m., a group of people noticed a luminous object in the sky that intrigued them. This object, spherical in shape and white in color, moved at the speed of an airplane on a north-south trajectory between the peaks of the area. After several minutes of observation, as an airplane flying in the opposite direction approached, this object climbed vertically and changed color before disappearing at very high speed into the sky. The gendarmerie investigation was unable to gather any further information. The noise heard and the evasive maneuver as the second airplane approached, with the activation of the standard identification lights, suggest that these witnesses probably saw maneuvers by a military jet aircraft.
