The regional newspaper La Voix du Nord, in its edition of the Aisne department for October 20, 1954, reported that on October 16, 1954, at 9:25 p.m. exactly, several reliable witnesses had seen a very luminous object, whose shape they could not clearly determine, moving at an impressive speed without noise, on a horizontal and perfectly rectilinear line at about 300 meters of altitude, crossing the sky of Chauny, above the canal, East-West direction.

The phenomenon sighted in the sky of Tergnier, last Saturday, and to which witnesses attribute a form of funnel, was also observed in Chauny.
Indeed, that same day, at exactly 9:25 p.m., several reliable witnesses saw, moving at an impressive speed, a very luminous object, of which they could not clearly determine the shape, traveling without noise, on a horizontal and perfectly rectilinear line at approximately 300 m. altitude, and which crossed the Chauny sky, above the canal, east-west direction.

Probably the 09:30 p.m. meteor of that day.
