CLERMONT-FERRAND
Several people of Clermont-Ferrand said that they had seen a luminous craft of very elongated oval shape above the Puy de Dôme, seeming to move relatively slowly towards the northeast.
Four people in particular claimed to have observed the craft for 2 minutes before it disappeared while gaining altitude. All the witnesses are affirmative: no noise was heard. It could not have been a plane.
