On Tuesday 14 December 1976 between 01:15 and 01:27, a driver at Ajaccio noticed an unusual glow above the airport. An intensely white ball moved slowly sideways, followed by a second ball. They first stopped, then rose rapidly and disappeared. The gendarmerie investigation concluded that the witness had seen a weather-balloon launch, with all the reported movements matching the balloon's maneuvers.
