LUCENAY-L'EVEQUE. — On Thursday at 3 a.m., Mr. Emile Walet, a temporary postal worker, was awakened and saw from his bed, through the window, a luminous object moving in the sky.
Quickly getting dressed, he went outside to make sure he wasn't experiencing a hallucination. He was not — a luminous disc was indeed moving, spinning on itself and leaving luminous trails.
He was able to observe the phenomenon for thirty minutes. Finally, without making any noise, the object disappeared behind the mountain in the direction of Epinac-les-Mines.
