That can appear not very serious. However, it is indeed on December 31 at 11:30 P.M. that a strange metallized gray shooting star, having no trail, changed trajectory and reduced its speed to a speed close to that of the car to the witnesses was observed by four witnesses in Margon. The young witnesses (25, 19, 17 and 15 years old) all have a good sight and state that they did not drink at this time there. Intrigued, they stopped their car at the entry of the village for better seeing the "star" which seen more closely included several red and white lights (some were twinkling). At the time of the stop, these lights flwe without noise in a half-circle around the village. No structure was seen and the altitude was estimated to be lower than 150 meters. The duration of the observation was 10 minutes, the disappearance was towards the South at a low altitude with multicoloured gleams.
