Bais 1985, yellow ball seen repeatedly over several nights

Summary

In February 1985 two witnesses in Mayenne spotted a yellow luminous ball that turned deep red. It remained motionless and silent for twenty minutes before gradually fading. Notably, the main witness and others saw the same phenomenon on subsequent nights. Investigators concluded it was most likely a star that appeared especially bright in the clear winter sky, despite the striking repetition and detail of the observations.
