A large and shiny ball was observed, yesterday afternoon, for two hours, motionless above the peak of Nore (Aude).
Specialists from the Naval School of Salvari, in Carcassonne, established a goniometric survey which allowed them to assess the altitude of the strange object at around 60 kilometers. The object was also seen in the Vaucluse by an amateur astronomer from Saint-Didier.
