Sunday, around 6:30 p.m., our local correspondent in Neuvilly: Mr. Gérard Champagne, was alerted by his neighbor, Mr. Eugène Baudhuin, living on rue de la Maladrerie in Neuvilly, who had just seen a luminous disc in the sky doing a descent.
A gathering of ten residents was immediately formed in the rue de la Maladrerie and one witnessed the moves of this mysterious luminous craft.
Above a curtain of poplars bordering the river "La Selle", a bizarre thing... an orange disc was, indeed, visible in the sky, at low altitude, at quite a long distance, almost to the horizon, towards Inchy. Suddenly it disappeared to reappear immediately, no engine noise. Soon, the disc descended slowly and appeared between two poplars; the descent continued and afterwards one saw nothing. Was there a landing or did the luminous craft continue its course in another direction?
This disc was visible for approximately 7 to 8 minutes.
