A luminous object follows a car near Bourges

Bourges, September 27. -- Mr. Robert Patient, 35 years old, assistant inspector for the P.T.T., residing in Bourges, who was driving to Vasselay on Thursday evening with his wife and children, states that on that night, in the hamlet of Jou, north of Bourges, he saw a strange, extremely bright object seemingly descending into a field.

At the presumed landing site, a reddish glow appeared. A glowing filament about fifty meters long was located at the center of the hemispherical object, which had a diameter of approximately fifteen meters.

For twenty to thirty seconds there was darkness. Suddenly, a new glow appeared above the horizon. Mr. Patient, who had stopped his car, drove off again, followed silently for several hundred meters by the object, which then disappeared.

Other witnesses from Bourges, Saint-Dolchard, and Vierzon claim to have seen a luminous object at corresponding times.
