On June 10, 1979, between 3:30 and 4:00 in the morning, and after a stormy episode, a witness spotted through a window a luminous phenomenon that intrigued him. He saw, in the southwest direction, a powerful light located above the horizon. It moved slowly horizontally, with occasional vertical back-and-forth movements. Depending on the position of the light, the witness saw luminous circles. A second flashing light, coming from the north, appeared and passed above the first one. It disappeared quickly in the southern direction. At 4:00 in the morning, the light was still present, and the witness went to bed. No noise was heard, and no other testimony was collected about this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
