Witness describes a reddish object in Foix

Summary

A case recorded in Foix on July 4, 1979, describes a nighttime observation of a reddish mass shaped like a shell. The witness, returning home, was frightened and observed the phenomenon for two minutes without hearing any sound. Although the object disappeared without a trace, there were no other witnesses. Investigators concluded the phenomenon could have been the Moon on the horizon, misinterpreted by the witness due to emotional state. The current GEIPAN classification considers this case as a mysterious observation, but attributed to a visual misperception.
