An account in Tarn-et-Garonne, France

On January 13, 1979, starting at 8:00 PM, several witnesses observe in the sky a luminous object of different colors that gives off reflections. The observation lasts about thirty minutes. The object is located to the right of the Moon, with no information on the distance between the Moon and the observation point. The witnesses probably made an astronomical observation, which could be either Procyon (magnitude 0.40), particularly visible at this time of year, or Sirius, whose reflections of different colors are well known and, in this case, accentuated by observation with binoculars. Jupiter is also particularly visible but to the left of the Moon, which does not match the testimony. These witnesses were away for three hours, and upon their return around midnight, they saw the same luminous phenomenon but farther away, and it had moved toward the South, which corresponds to the natural movement of the stars.
