AnomalyOn February 6, 1979 at 9:20 a.m., a passerby observes a luminous phenomenon in the sky that intrigues him. For two minutes, he sees a saucer-shaped object with blue and yellow lines at the rear that disappear. The object is then hidden by buildings, and when the witness spots it again, he notes at its center a denser light, rounded in shape. The object is motionless in a luminous halo and forms a 20-degree angle with the ground. No other testimony is collected. At that time, the sun is very low on the horizon and in the line of sight of the observation: it is probably a luminous reflection of the sun through the clouds.
