AnomalyOn July 13, 1979, at around 11:30 PM, witnesses saw an object in the sky that drew their attention. A ball the size of a soccer ball and orange-red in color was moving at high altitude. During the observation, this object changed shape and color, and stopped still before moving off again at very high speed and disappearing into the atmosphere. No other testimony was collected about this phenomenon, which remains unexplained.
