On Wednesday, December 1st, around 4:45 p.m., a mysterious red object, very high in the sky, attracted the attention of many residents of La Charité.
According to one person who observed it through binoculars, it was a circular, possibly spherical body, from which a smaller green-colored object appeared to detach.
At one point, black smoke emerged from both the lower and upper parts of the mysterious craft. The smoke then changed from black to white. Suddenly, everything vanished.
The phenomenon was observed for over half an hour by numerous people at various locations around La Charité.
