Red ball in the sky over Bethoncourt

Summary

On May 8, 1993, three witnesses in Bethoncourt (France) observed a red glowing ball moving silently and slowly across the sky. The sphere emitted rays of the same color around it, creating an unusual and striking scene. After two to three minutes, the object quickly disappeared, reducing to a small bright point in the clear sky. The gendarmerie received no further testimonies and could not collect additional information about the phenomenon. Due to the lack of further data, the case was classified as category C by the GEIPAN.
