L'Aber-Wrach, 19th. -- Yesterday, the sloop "Saint-Yves" from Moguériec entered the port of Aber-Wrach. One of its sailors, François Floc'h, witnessed a strange phenomenon while at sea.
Around 4 a.m., he saw a luminous sphere above Valli, in Moguériec, moving from East to West. The phenomenon lasted for about thirty seconds, after which the white sphere suddenly vanished.
The same phenomenon was observed by a sailor from another trawler, Mr. Jean Roudaut, from the sloop "Mimi," who stated that he was dazzled by the blinding brightness emitted by the sphere.
