Several inhabitants of the archipelago of Vanuatu (New Hebrides) claim to have seen an "orange red" object moving at an "incredible speed" streaking the sky during "seven to eight minutes" last Tuesday, at the fall of the night. One of the witnesses, Norm Sanson, a pilot of the local airline company Vanair, estimates that the object could not be debris of a satellite "because of the position of the sun at that time." Another witness, a Canadian pilot on holiday, explained that the object initially came from the south, then made a turn towards the west before disappearing at the horizon.
