On the night of July 18-19, 1979, several residents of the same neighborhood hear sharp, short noises between 9:30 PM and 12:15 AM. These frightened people then see unusual glows in the sky. The same phenomenon starts again on the evening of July 20. The gendarmerie investigation establishes that these phenomena came from the firing of whistling rockets launched for fun and without permission from the garden of a nearby house.
