Reddish ovoid shape over Beaugency at dawn

Summary

Between 6:40 and 7:27 a.m. on 9 February 1982, several witnesses in Beaugency observed an ovoid luminous phenomenon emitting a reddish-orange light that moved up and down in a repetitive pattern. One witness mentioned having seen something similar on previous dates at the same time, suggesting a recurring event. The descriptions were consistent across observers, but the object could not be positively identified. An astronomical observation was considered but never definitively confirmed.
