The article below was published in the daily newspaper L'Est Républicain, France, on October 5, 1954.
While going to get some bread, Mr. Guillemin Georges, a baker, told us:
"They're going to say that I'm a joker, but on Wednesday evening, when I was in Commercy, spending my Thursday off, while the crowd was going to the Super Circus, in the other direction, I was in the Berthémy district, around 8:30 p.m., with my daughter Jocelyne, 10 years old, and we saw in the sky a luminous tube about the diameter of the moon, for at least ten seconds, in the direction of Cousances-St-Dizier. Since then, we have seen in the newspapers that the mayor of Saint-Dizier and a railway worker from Ancercille had also seen it, at approximately the same time on Wednesday. A person told us that he had seen, as well as his wife, a luminous object like the moon but a little smaller hovering in the direction of Bar-le-Duc."
