Hundreds of people saw a large object of metallic appearance, motionless in the sky above the city, between 11:30 a.m. and and 15:30 p.m., undergoing changes of aspects: at 01:30 p.m., its color changed from a shiny mercury colour to a dull metal gray, at the same time as it changed its shape, becoming smaller and seeming to divide into three small spheres, which then gathered to take another overall shape. At 03:30 p.m. it disappeared suddenly.
One of the witnesses, Vladimir Stoicescu, observed it with binoculars and took photographs.
