AnomalyOn March 21, 1979 at around 2 a.m., a motorist driving on the D16 between Ayguesvives and Gardouch (31) saw a luminous phenomenon that took on varying shapes and colors throughout the trip and seemed to follow the witness. During the 10 kilometers traveled, the UAP sometimes appeared to stop and then have significant accelerations. When he got home, the witness woke up his wife, who also observed the phenomenon. The witness took photos before going to bed around 3 a.m. No particular noise was heard and no other testimony was collected by the gendarmerie. The GEPAN investigation concluded that the witness probably made an astronomical observation of a moonrise in foggy weather (see the GEPAN investigation report). A check done in 2008 on the astronomical configuration at the time of the observation also shows a conjunction between the Moon, Neptune, and Antares, which confirms the conclusion of the 1979 GEPAN investigation. This case is classified A: astronomical observation of the Moon.
