Particularly visible at this time of year (magnitude -4.10) and very low on the horizon, this celestial body would have appeared and disappeared following the ridge line.
On December 1, 1976, several witnesses observed the presence, above the horizon line, of a luminous and stationary object. The observation lasted 15 minutes before the object disappeared. No…
