AnomalyOn May 29, 1979 at around 11:30 PM, a motorist driving on a small country road was surprised to see a bright orange crescent-moon-shaped object coming in his direction. This object at low altitude seemed to follow the motorist throughout his entire journey toward the Northwest. No noise was heard. The object was eventually lost from sight. The next day, the witness returned to the same spot and noted the presence of the same object but white in color. It disappeared behind the woods heading Northwest. The sky chart for that evening shows the presence at low altitude and to the Northwest of the Moon with a magnitude of -8.91: this person made an astronomical observation of the Moon. The impression of its movement when one is driving is well known.
