Rumor spread on Monday that a craft, either saucer or cigar-shaped, had flown over and appeared in the area of our commune.
The person who had the honor of seeing this strange object is a respectable farmer woman who wishes to remain anonymous and whose honesty is beyond question.
She told us the following, verbatim:
"On Monday, shortly before 6:30 a.m., I was in the farmyard, brightly lit by an electric lamp. I was scanning the sky to check the weather before going to early morning mass, when I saw a strange object about 2 meters long, flying slowly at low altitude — 20 to 30 meters — and shaped like a spindle, stick, or cigar. The object skimmed the roof of the farmhouse." It was clearly seen by this good woman, who didn’t much believe in flying saucers or such things, but had to admit the evidence. She was so frightened that she only spoke to her sons about it some time later, but by then the object had vanished.
This strange appearance is at the very least surprising, but the mystery remains.
