Stationary light identified as Venus in Ally

Summary

On December 1, 1976, several witnesses in Haute-Loire observed a stationary luminous object on the horizon for about fifteen minutes. It made no sound. The gendarmerie responded quickly but found no ground traces and could not confirm the object with instruments. The witnesses themselves noted that the object lay in the same direction as Venus, leading to the conclusion that they had been observing the planet. GEIPAN classified the case as A.
