An orange orb in C�te-d'Or, France
On June 3, 1979, at around 11:30 PM, a female motorist observed in her rearview mirror a glowing orange ball that seemed to follow her until she reached a built-up area, where, frightened, she honked her horn to alert the residents. One person came out of their house but refused to go look at this ball. Resuming her drive, she saw the object until she reached her home. The witness experienced physical effects, and the dashboard went out. This object made no noise and was at low altitude to the north-northwest. She encountered no other vehicles, and no other testimony was collected about this phenomenon. Despite the lack of information, the sky chart for that evening shows the presence of Jupiter, particularly visible (magnitude -1.47), Pollux (magnitude 0.98), and Capella. The hypothesis of an astronomical observation is probable but cannot be confirmed. The witness experienced significant fright, which probably explains her behavior and the effects she felt.

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
