Brilliant sphere over Salins-les-Thermes

Summary

Around 9:30 a.m. on August 23, 1980, a witness at her home in Salins-les-Thermes noticed a flash followed by an extremely bright sphere moving across the sky. As it neared a mountain range, the object tilted, turned reddish, and vanished rapidly behind the northern horizon. A single testimony with no supporting data, making any conclusion impossible.
