Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
The local newspaper Les Tablettes de Péronne for October 23, 1954, reported that on Monday - therefore on October 18, 1954 - residents of a central district of the city were awaken at about midnight by snapping sounds accompanied by strange lights.
According to the newspaper, the residents then thought that a flying saucer may have landed nearby, and they rushed, very little reassured, to their window.
Information taken, it was simply an electric cable that was burning in front of the Corto pharmacy. A Mr. Asini quickly repaired the damages.

In the evening of Monday, the residents of a central district were brought out of their sleep by snapping sounds accompanied by strange lights.
A flying saucer... may have landed nearby, they thought, rushing out, very little reassured, to their window.
Information taken, it was simply an electric cable that burned in front of the Corto pharmacy.
Mr. Asini, with zeal that should be emphasized, was quick to repair the damage, although this incident happened around midnight.
