Clermont-Ferrand, September 25. -- Six residents of Langeac (Haute-Loire) saw a white glow moving through the sky heading south.
A resident of Gelles (Puy-de-Dôme), Mrs. Widow Melle, stated that she saw in the sky a luminous craft of elongated shape "like a cigar." The craft moved without making any noise.
A resident of Clermont-Ferrand who was picking mushrooms saw a luminous trail in the sky at high altitude, "slightly tinted pink."
Rugby players training at the stadium in Vichy saw a "flying cigar."
Mr. Besse, a draftsman at the E.D.F. in Tulle, saw a flying saucer over the city on Friday evening. Using powerful binoculars, he was able to observe the craft's movements for a few moments, during which it reportedly changed color three times.
Mr. Mallet, in Le Puy, saw to the east of the city a craft changing color and moving slowly and silently, apparently with a slight oscillation.
In Charron (Charente-Maritime), three fishermen and a customs officer reported seeing a formation of flying saucers flying very low and passing over the shore before disappearing.
