FLYING SAUCER, FLYING CIGAR? - Friday the 17th, around 7:15 p.m., Mrs widow Mellé, from Gelles, was taking the cool near her villa, when she saw in the sky a luminous craft shaped like a cigar.
It was neither making noise nor producing smoke and could not be an airplane or a fireball.
Mrs. Mellé alerted her neighbors, Mrs. Estrade, Mrs. Louis Ganne, Mrs. and Mr. Paul Ganne, who also saw the mysterious craft, orange-yellow, moving slowly in the direction S-N.
These people followed the craft with their eyes for about five minutes. Their statements are very reliable and cannot be doubted.
