We have reported, on numerous occasions, sightings of flying saucers or other such objects in the sky over Bourges.
Today, we must recount the experience of a Bourges resident, Mrs. G... M..., and her husband, 45 years old, living at 77 Avenue de Saint-Amand, who, during the night from Friday to Saturday, saw a strange craft in the sky.
Suffering from a toothache, Mrs. G... M... got up around 1:15 a.m. to take a pill. Since the shutters of her kitchen were open, she looked outside and saw a large luminous sphere in the sky.
"It was as big as a washing machine, and the enormous sphere was descending while growing in size. It disappeared, then I saw it again, shining with a very bright orange-yellow color, and then once more, it vanished. This lasted for about 10 minutes."
When Mrs. G... M... pointed to a location in the sky near the Polygone, we asked her if it could have been a flare or a rocket.
"No. We are used to seeing flares above the Polygone, which is not in the direction of what I saw, as well as planes frequently landing at the airport. What I saw had nothing to do with what my husband and I are accustomed to seeing."
Let's give credit to Mrs. G... M..., who does not want her name published in our columns and is not seeking publicity, and let us hope that one day the mystery of the flying saucers will be solved.
