Orange light observation in Fontenay-le-Fleury

Summary

On July 21, 1980, a witness observed an orange light in the sky from their fifth-floor apartment. They noticed a bright orange semispherical object that remained stationary for a minute before moving in a straight line and disappearing. The description of the object is clear, but there are no other witnesses or additional evidence. The gendarmerie did not collect further information. The GEPAN classified the case as category A due to its low strangeness. Investigators concluded that the witness was not lying, but they misidentified the Sun as an unidentified object, likely due to cloud cover.
