In the night of July 25, 1980, around 2:45 a.m., a witness claims to have seen, 50 meters from his home, a luminous shape, orange in color and oval in form, possibly measuring 0.80 m high by 0.40 m wide. This static luminous mass was observed for 40 minutes by the witness. This glow disappeared while the witness had gone back inside his kitchen. No trace on the ground was found. Another person would say they had been a witness a month earlier to the presence of a luminous ball 50 m above the ground that moved while following their vehicle. No other information was collected on these phenomena, for which we lack information.
