AnomalyOn August 24, 1980, at 3:30 a.m., a witness observed a very bright shape in the sky. The intense brightness made observation difficult, but the witness was nevertheless able to see a slightly pale pink parachute shape detach from underneath the object. This parachute remained visible for only a few seconds; however, the witness observed the glowing ball for more than 10 minutes before going back to bed. Upon waking up a few hours later, everything had disappeared. No other testimony was collected about this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
