AnomalyOn August 5, 1980 at around 11 p.m., people observe the passage of a craft in the sky from East to West. Elongated in shape, this craft emits a central light. It suddenly changes direction to go due South, then due East. Later that same evening, other passages of this type will be noted by the witnesses. On August 6 at around 11:45 p.m., the flight of a craft heading toward the Northeast is spotted. No other testimony will be collected. The Basel/Mulhouse airport reports numerous airplane flights that evening. The witnesses probably made an observation of an aircraft.
