An account in Pays de la Loire, France

From January 5, 1980 and the days after, many witnesses as well as the gendarmes in charge of investigating on site observe at the end of the afternoon a very bright glow in the sky. The shape seems to change as well as the colors. The probability is fairly strong that the observation made was that of Venus.
