AnomalyOn July 10 at around 3 a.m., a witness observed through his window a luminous mass moving diagonally from north to east. Round or ovoid in shape and yellow in color, this object was observed for 10 to 15 minutes before disappearing. No noise was heard. This person probably observed the passage of a Transit or Oscar type satellite, and not Skylab, which had no longer been visible in France since the end of June.
