Montmarault 1990, Unidentified red light observation

The phenomenon moved diagonally toward Earth without making any noise. One witness noted that his dogs showed an unusual reaction of alarm. Although the description could resemble an atmospheric entry of an object, the phenomenon could not be identified with certainty. The case was classified as "D" by GEIPAN, indicating no conventional explanation was found.
