Red lights in Territoire de Belfort, France

On April 2, 1979 at around 8:40 p.m., the gendarmerie received telephone calls reporting an object flying over the town emitting a bright light. On site, the gendarmes observed an orange luminous phenomenon moving in the clear sky at low altitude in a northeast direction. Flashing red lights and a steady green light came from the object. The investigation showed that it was the passage of a DC-9 type aircraft that was conducting flight training in the region between 8:30 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. The case is classified as A: observation of an aircraft.
