AnomalyOn August 14, 1980, at 4:45 in the morning, witnesses observed a low light source on the horizon. Emitting a flickering yellow light, moving very slowly, this phenomenon was observed for several minutes before disappearing while decreasing in intensity and size. During the gendarmerie investigation, other witnesses were found: it is likely that these people made an astronomical observation of Mercury, which was particularly visible at this time of year.
