- The turn taken by the more and more frequent visits of saucers in the region should logically make it more difficult to scoff about them. Here is another true story, however. A sales representative who came from Viller-l'Hôpital returned to Auxi around 9 p.m. and going down the hill of Wavans. There was a bit of fog outside and... elsewhere. Suddenly our man stopped suddenly, in the distance on the left a suspicious light had just appeared. He still swears it was a saucer.
In fact it was only the top of the "derrick" of the Wanves-les-Mines drilling, which remains lit all night.
