What happened
At around 7:30 pm, three people noticed a red glow above an island. It moved slowly toward the south, then abruptly changed course and headed northwest. The witnesses heard no noise during the sighting, which lasted more than four minutes.
On 12 May, gendarmes saw the same phenomenon for about a minute. No further information was gathered about it. Because precise details were lacking, the GEIPAN classified the case as C (insufficient data).
