Summary
Observation of a triangular object changing speed and direction
Detailed descriptionOn December 3, 1979, around 16:50, two witnesses observe a triangular shaped object emitting two traces of red smoke. The object flew over a radio tower, then stopped a few seconds before setting out again. The witnesses followed it until it went out of sight, red smoke being visible until the end of the observation. A third witness observed at the same time a very shiny point in the sky without being able to make a correlation between the two observations. The investigation did not make it possible to identify air traffic corresponding to the observations and this observation remains unexplained.
