Case description

On 5 August 1979 between 23:00 and 23:30, a witness and gendarmes saw unusual lights to the left of the Moon. The summary specifies 3 balls of different sizes; the narrative adds differing colors. Some moved jerkily left to right, at times very rapidly, before disappearing into clouds. No other accounts were collected, leaving insufficient information.
