AnomalyOn September 17, 1979, at around 7:45 a.m., a person notices a fixed luminous point in the sky. White in color and oval in shape, this single point then crosses rapidly and horizontally the sector where three aircraft are flying. The object disappears toward the East. After a call for witnesses was put out in the local press, several people got in touch with the authorities. They report observing, on the same day but over a wider time window, the passage in the sky of a particular object. However, the varied descriptions do not allow the object to be precisely identified.
