Orange phenomenon over Jeumont linked to Belgian industry

Summary

On Friday, September 26, 1975, several witnesses in the Nord region reported an orange phenomenon in the sky. The gendarmerie investigated after a press article, but photographs came out blank and testimonies did not match. Investigators concluded the phenomenon was probably related to the Charleroi metallurgical zone in Belgium, located in the direction the witnesses indicated. Classification B: likely terrestrial explanation.
