Saint Aubin, Brittany, France — 17 November 1684
Tear-shaped object
About 10 A.M. a priest from Lannion saw “a flame in the shape of a teardrop, as big as one’s hand, coming down from the sky. Its motion was extremely slow, for it took no less than seven to eight minutes to reach the horizon. It seemed a bit bluer. Its tail threw off sparks, and it was on the opposite side from the sun.”
