An account in Grand Est, France

On October 20, 1979, several people in the Vosges and Haut-Rhin regions saw a luminous phenomenon in the sky blinking irregularly. The object, spherical in shape, seemed to move in a zigzag pattern, and no noise was noticed. One year earlier, a similar phenomenon had been observed by witnesses.
