Multicolored lights over the port of Nouméa in 1973

Summary

In 1973, a child and his parents observed multicolored lights hanging motionless over Magenta harbor in Nouméa. The lights seemed related to an aircraft, but when they passed the airport they found it completely shut down. An inquiry the next day confirmed there had been no air activity anywhere on the island that night. Other people reportedly saw something similar, though no further details were obtained. The case remains unexplained due to lack of additional information.
