AnomalyOn August 23, 1980 at around 9:30 a.m., a witness saw a flash of light from her home. She then made an observation that intrigued her: a spherical, very bright flying object was moving across the sky. As it approached a mountain range, the object tilted onto its edge, turned red, and quickly disappeared behind the landscape heading north. No other testimony was collected about this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
