The flying saucer
was the size
of... a tramway!

If, at 8 p.m., one thought to have seen a flying saucer in Chéreng, Sunday evening, at 9 p.m., Mr. Millecamps Ferdinand, 21 years old, mason, residing in Haubourdin, 22, rue Victor-Loridan, located on the Sequedin bridge, saw, at about 500 meters, between Sequedin and Hallennes and on the railway line, a ball of fire the size of a tram, standing 4 or 5 meters above the ground which, after standing still for a while, went away vertically.

Frightened by this apparition, Mr. Millecamps hurriedly left the scene, and later, still very moved, recounted his adventure when he arrived in Haubourdin.
