Sunday, around 6:30 p.m., our local correspondent in Neuvilly: Mr. Gérard Champagne, was alerted by his neighbor: Mr. Eugène Baudhuin, living rue de la Maladrerie in Neuvilly, who had just seen a luminous disc in the sky.
A gathering of a dozen residents immediately formed in the rue de la Maladerie and witnessed the moves of the craft. Above a curtain of poplars which borders the river "La Selle" an orange disc was indeed visible in the sky, at low altitude, at a fairly long distance, almost on the horizon, in the direction of Inchy. Suddenly it disappeared only to reappear immediately, no noise. Soon the disc slowly descended between two poplars, then disappeared.
The disc was visible for about 7 to 8 minutes.
