What happened
At about 7:30 p.m., several people noticed an unusual luminous object in the sky. It was made up of two glowing white spheres joined by a red-orange bar.
The object stayed still for a while, then began to move and abruptly changed direction. The lights stayed steady throughout, and the witnesses saw no change in their intensity.
No other testimony was gathered about this phenomenon. Because of the lack of information, GEIPAN could not explain it and classified the case as C (insufficient data).
