"I would like to report an observation to you, that I made yesterday. I left home yesterday evening towards 11:00 P.M. My attention was immediately attracted by the shining moon. As I usually do, I glanced towards the evening stars. There, I saw what I believed to be a star, but it appeared well too luminous to me. I finally saw the evening star, and I again I looked at where I had believed I saw it first. I could then see that it was a flying object, whose light declined progressively. The object was too far to determine its size, but the color was blue-neon. It initially appreciably accelerated, then returned at its preceding speed. I still could observe it a few moments, but the color continued to decline until not being visible more.
"It is very possible that other people have observed the same phenomenon. It should be noted that I saw this phenomenon 'towards the end'. The declining light makes me think that the object could possibly have been observed by other people with this light quite stronger. It is not the first time that phenomena of this kind occur in the area of Abbeville (Somme - 80), and I am conviced that other people could have seen this phenomenon."
