A strange phenomenon occurred last Tuesday at 12:50 p.m. in the sky over Asnières-les-Dijon. Six people witnessed it, and their sincerity cannot be doubted.
These individuals were watching planes maneuvering in the sky above the village when suddenly, from the east, much higher than the planes, appeared a kind of red disc which, as it approached, turned orange, then silver. The object was moving very quickly and disappeared toward the west.
We were told it could not have been a balloon launched by one of the planes, given the object's high speed. Was it a flying saucer?
