"And that's two! After the gendarmes of Aldudes fifteen days ago, it was villagers of Saint-Martin-d'Arrossa (Basque Country), who saw a strange yellow shiny object, extended with green beams and carrying a red glow in the center. The phenomenon was observed twice. By three women first, who went to Mass on Saturday night. By a carpenter and his neighbor the next day, Sunday, shortly before nine o'clock. According to the eyewitnesses the object was "much bigger than a star, brighter too. It was moving at times and disappeared after a quarter of an hour behind the mountains."
