Case summary: A LUMINOUS SPHERE IN THE SKY OF MOGUERIEC
Yesterday in the harbour of the river Aber-Wrach the sloop "Saint Yves" of Mr. Loguériec entered, whose sailor, François Floc'h was the witness, whereas he was at the sea, of an odd phenomenon.
At about 4 o'clock in the morning, he saw above Valli, in Moguériec, a luminous sphere moving towards the west. The phenomenon lasted thirty seconds approximately, at the end of which the white ball disappeared suddenly.
The same phenomenon was observed by a sailor of another trawler, Mr. Jean Roudaut, of the sloop "Mimi", which states to have been dazzled by the blinding brightness emitted by the sphere.
