Are the raids of flying saucers going to intensify in our region? In any case, several of our compatriots saw a mysterious object on Saturday evening, around 08:00 p.m., moving in the direction of Gergy at a high altitude.
One of these witnesses provided us with details:
"I was alerted by one of my neighbors," he said. "She pointed out the sky in the direction of Gergy. I saw, indeed, at a high altitude, an object that looked like a large star; this object was moving while emitting yellow and green lights."
This phenomenon is inexplicable, as the object in question did not resemble an airplane flying at night.
On Saturday afternoon, a crowd gathered on the St-Laurent bridge, around Mr. Colombiès and Mr. Vernusse, two residents of Mâcon who were the first to spot a dark disk in the sky over Mâcon. The phenomenon disappeared fairly quickly. Could it be the flying saucer seen and photographed in the sky over Lyon?
