THE SAUCERS

Monday evening, many people of Ferrière-la-Grande witnessed the passage in the sky of a curious "ball of fire" that some claim to be a flying saucer.

Indeed, around 8:30 p.m., Mr. Maxime Liénard, guard apparitor of the town hall, went to the center of the village, with Mssrs. Decrucq father and son. They saw a luminous ball pass, at high speed, in the sky. At the same time, other people in a place called "La Digue" also saw this phenomenon. This is Mr. R. Maufroy who was accompanied by his brother-in-law and sisters-in-law: Pierre Sauvage, Gisèle and Solange Sauvage.

Contrary to rumors circulating, none of these witnesses saw this "ball" land.
