It seems that Sunday evening was particularly favorable for the "flying saucers" to take a stroll through the sky of Nancy.
Indeed, after the two testimonies published yesterday, we have now learned that a similar phenomenon was observed by other passersby at different times.
A pilot, as we recall, was the first to spot the saucer around 8:00 p.m., above Rue Gilbert.
A resident of Avenue de la Libération, Mr. Clément, reported noticing at 10:50 p.m. on Rue Leonard-Bourcier a luminous blue and green object, leaving behind a white trail, coming from the north and speeding across the sky in the direction of Maxéville.
Mr. Meglioli, from Avenue de Boufflers, who was next to Mr. Clément, also witnessed the event.
Finally, at 11:45 p.m., the time when Mr. Yves Franchini, an orchestra conductor, and two of his friends saw the object streak across the sky over Clos Hinzelin toward Avenue de Strasbourg, other residents of Nancy were struck by the same sight: young Claude Baermann, residing at 36 Avenue de l'Abbé-Grégoire, and Mr. and Mrs. Meyer, living at 62 Avenue du Général-Leclerc.
8:00 p.m., 10:50 p.m., 11:45 p.m....
We are therefore likely dealing with three different objects. For having been served quite late, Nancy had to be served well.
