The regional newspaper L'Est Républicain for October 5, 1954, reported that "saucepans" had flown over Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy on October 3, 1954, around 03:45 p.m.
[Ref. ler1:] NEWSPAPER "L'EST REPUBLICAIN":

Reports of the passage of "mysterious craft" keep coming in, sometimes contradicting each other. After the "pans" that flew over Vandœuvre on Sunday around 3:45 p.m., another reader informed us yesterday that on Sunday, around 1:36 p.m. (he checked his watch, he specified), he saw "balls" passing over his house, located on Quai de la Bataille, coming from the direction of Tomblaine.
Caught in a whirlwind, one of these "balls" touched the ground, allowing the witness to observe that it was merely an amalgamation of what is commonly called "Virgin's Threads."
These "objects" were therefore nothing mysterious.
