AnomalyOn May 13, 1980 at around 4:45 a.m., a witness, walking to work, was surprised by the appearance in the sky of a very bright green ball. It moved along a south-to-north trajectory and at very low altitude. This ball was followed by a spray of yellow sparks. The observation lasted less than 5 seconds and no noise was noticed. No other testimony was collected on this phenomenon. This person probably witnessed an atmospheric reentry.
