The Coulommiers newspaper, "Le Pays Briard", publishes a letter sent by Mr. Farnier, member of the Society of Civil Engineers of France, regarding a "flying saucer".
Mr. Farnier specifies that he saw, above his property in Jouy-sur-Morin, a large disc 8 to 10 meters in diameter, rotating in place, emitting red-violet lights, with a whistling sound somewhat reminiscent of an approaching jet plane. The craft was about 400 meters high and hovered above me for more than 20 minutes. I therefore, says Mr. Farnier, had plenty of time to examine it closely. The craft then disappeared in the direction of Coulommiers."
Mr. Farnier adds:
"As a former commissioner with the Aéro-Club de France, having served in aviation, I was not the victim of a hallucination, and this craft was not a weather balloon, but a thick circular wing hovering in place and moving at very high speed while gradually gaining altitude."
