What happened
Around 9:30 pm, a couple was in their apartment when they noticed a luminous phenomenon outside. It was a red ball that stayed motionless, with an apparent size similar to that of a street lamp. The two witnesses watched it for about a quarter of an hour.
The investigation gathered no further information about the phenomenon. Because the data were insufficient, the GEIPAN classified the case as C and concluded that it was the observation of a luminous ball.
