An account in Nord, France

On March 25, 1979, between 9:55 PM and 10:10 PM, a witness observed from his post at the factory's surveillance station a luminous phenomenon in the sky that intrigued him. He first saw a milky white glow in the shape of an arc, followed by a green ball with a red dot in the middle performing various movements. No sound was heard. This witness and two other firefighters had already observed a luminous phenomenon earlier in the year. No other testimony could be collected regarding the March 25 phenomenon, for which we lack information.
