An orange orb in Haute-Corse, France

On April 27, 1980, a witness observed a peculiar phenomenon while getting ready to go home around 12:30 a.m. A red-orange ball the size of a football approached him and stopped 5 meters from the house. This object shone brightly with a metallic gleam. Waking other people at his home, they also observed this luminous ball. Frightened, they decided to go back to bed. The next day, no suspicious trace was noticed in front of the door. No other testimony was collected on this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
