On the morning of November 8, 1978, several witnesses located in different departments observed the rapid passage of a luminous phenomenon in the sky. According to the witnesses' descriptions, this object was followed by a colored trail in the sky and moved along a descending trajectory. The presumed impact sites of the object were searched, but no trace on the ground was found. These witnesses probably witnessed an atmospheric reentry.
