On 26 September 1983 at about 18:50, numerous witnesses across French Polynesia saw an unusual luminous phenomenon. A group of 6–8 very bright points of different sizes moved extremely rapidly west to east, leaving luminous trails. Their altitude was estimated at 10,000 m. No sound associated with their movement was heard. The witnesses probably saw an atmospheric entry.
