Lyon, January 10. -- Several residents of the northern part of the Rhône department claim to have seen, yesterday morning shortly before 8 a.m., a round, yellowish object in the sky moving rapidly from north-northwest to south-southeast.
According to eyewitnesses, the object flew silently, left no luminous trail behind it, and appeared to be at a fairly low altitude.
Nancy, January 10. -- Three residents of Lunéville claim to have seen, yesterday morning around 6 a.m., a round-shaped craft moving from north to south.
The craft, they stated, flew more slowly than a jet and left behind a luminous yellow trail. It made no sound, even though it seemed to be flying at low altitude.
In addition to these three witnesses, including a literature teacher, several students from the Lunéville college also saw the craft.
Dijon, January 10. -- Yesterday morning around 7:45 a.m., several people saw in the sky over Gémeaux (Côte-d'Or) a red ball topped with a triangle, which remained visible for a few seconds. The object, coming from the region of Is-sur-Tille, passed without leaving any trace, hovered over the village, and then shot off like lightning toward Til-Châtel before disappearing over the horizon.
Around the same time, the same phenomenon was observed in Nouvelle-les-Champlitte and Langres.
