LIMOGES. -- Last Thursday, several people from different towns in the Creuse, the Allier, and the Puy-de-Dome, saw in the sky a kind of very strange glow, like a sun that changed almost immediately.
This phenomenon was seen very well at 9:30 p.m. above the south east of the Creuse. Red land pink gleams like those at dawn came after the strange and mysterious appearance, supposed to be a flying saucer.
The vision, which lasted three to five minutes, puzzled people of Dontreix and Rougnat (the Creuse).
The phenomenon then disappeared towards the Southeast.
