A truck driver, who was collecting milk yesterday morning around 6 a.m. near Cabestany (Pyrénées-Orientales), reported seeing in front of his vehicle "a bright globe" of bluish color "moving at an altitude of about 150 meters while producing a very soft humming sound."
Having stopped his truck, the witness followed the craft with his eyes for nearly fifteen minutes, then, suddenly, it is said to have risen into the sky and disappeared in the direction of the sea.
It was a saucer of dazzling yellow that, last night, presented itself to the astonished eyes of Mr. Picaud, director of a brewery in Auge (Deux-Sèvres), as he was driving on the road to Fontenay-le-Comte. Perhaps it was the same craft that, shortly after, streaked across the sky over Landeda and Aberwrach (Finistère), leaving the villagers amazed?...
But the cigar-shaped craft is not losing its presence:
Mrs. Picot de la Baume, residing in Montpellier, reportedly saw, at an altitude of about 1,500 meters, a cigar-shaped craft, shining, which seemed to be surrounded by a halo.
However, are the phenomenal craft that soar above our heads moving elsewhere with the same apparent disinterest? One can doubt it after reading a report in a Czechoslovakian newspaper. Could an audacious saucer not have clandestinely crossed the Iron Curtain during its patrol to drop anti-communist leaflets...
