LIMOGES, September 14. -- A resident of Limoges, Mr. Georges Frugier, 30 years old, declares to have seen on September 10, shortly after 8:30 p.m. furrowing the sky from East to West, a red disc letting out a bluish trail.
Indeed, the day and time of this observation coincide with the strange encounter of the farmer of Bugeat (Corrèze), Mr. Antoine Mazaud, who claims to have had an interview with the passenger of a "flying cigar".
Mr. Frugier told his family about the spectacle he had witnessed, but he encountered frank skepticism.
However, the publication in the press of the adventure that occurred to Mr. Mazaud imposed a connection: Limoges is located north-west of Bugeat, direction taken by the mysterious machine, according to the farmer's statements.
