AnomalyOn December 5, 1979, a witness observed around 5:40 p.m. a ball the size of an orange with an orange reflection. It moved while spinning on itself and alternately rising and falling. No noise was heard. The observation lasted a quarter of an hour before this ball disappeared toward the southeast at very high speed. The next day at the same time, this ball was visible again, but it changed size three times and disappeared toward the west. Only one other witness had seen a similar phenomenon a few months earlier.
