Red lights in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, France

On July 16, 1979, at around 9:40 PM, two people observed a luminous object in the sky. This object was trapezoidal in shape, dark in color, with four lights at the front and a red light at the rear. First stationary above the Savoyard cove, this object then moved slowly toward the East. After a sudden acceleration, it rose vertically into the sky before disappearing. No noise was heard. No aircraft took off or landed on the island after 8 PM, and no other testimony was collected about this phenomenon, which remains unexplained.

What stood out: red lights
