Cylindrical object over the Maine river in Angers

Summary

On April 29, 1977, two people in Angers watched a cylindrical object emitting colored lights as it traveled parallel to the Maine river for over an hour. Their testimonies were brief and lacked detail. A third witness, interviewed by the gendarmerie, described a red ball with a tail moving from northeast to southwest before going dark. The hypothesis of an atmospheric entry was considered but cannot be confirmed due to insufficient information.
