An account in Hautes-Pyr�n�es, France

On August 25, 1980 between 9:25 PM and 10 PM, several witnesses observed a luminous phenomenon in the sky. A circular shape of color moved without any particular noise being heard. The witnesses located in the city lost sight of the object, which was hidden by buildings. The observation was very brief, but the witnesses stated that this object emitted luminous radiation. The Pic du Midi observatory was contacted, but nothing particular was noted. It is likely that the witnesses witnessed an atmospheric reentry.
