Multicolored phenomenon identified as Sirius in Pajay

Summary

Between 22:30 and 23:45 one December 1976 evening, a witness in Pajay observed a multicolored luminous phenomenon through binoculars that appeared stationary. Two other people confirmed the sighting. Investigators concluded it was most likely the star Sirius: its intense brightness, combined with atmospheric conditions and optical aberrations from ordinary binoculars, can produce multicolored flashes that lead to misidentification.
