Silent red light over the Bischwiller refinery

Summary

On June 22, 1976, several people in a car saw a red light moving rapidly and silently at high altitude. The phenomenon hovered over an oil terminal, shifted over a refinery, then headed toward the Rhine in the direction of Germany. One witness tried to photograph it, but the film was unusable. Two refinery employees confirmed seeing a bright object in the same direction, though on-duty guards reported nothing. No further details were obtained.
