Limoges, September 14. -- A resident of Limoges, Mr. Georges Frugier, 30 years old, claims to have seen, on September 10, shortly after 8:30 p.m., a red disc streaking across the sky from east to west, leaving behind a bluish trail.
Interestingly, the date and time of this sighting coincide with the strange encounter reported by the farmer from Bugeat (Corrèze), Mr. Antoine Mazaud, who claims to have spoken with the occupant of a "flying cigar."
Mr. Frugier told his family about the sight he had witnessed, but was met with open skepticism.
However, the publication in the press this morning of the incident involving Mr. Mazaud prompted a connection: Limoges is located northwest of Bugeat, the direction in which the mysterious craft was reportedly headed, according to the farmer’s account.
