TOURS (AFP). -- Two Tourangelles saw an unidentified flying object in the sky near Tours, Monday evening around 9 p.m.
Mrs. Martin, a nurse living in Tours, was coming out of a client's, Mrs. Vernejoul, in La Riche near Tours, when she saw an elongated object with, in the center, a more intense luminous focus which shimmered.
Mrs. Martin then went to Mrs. Vernejoul who also came out and confirmed her observation.
The phenomenon then disappeared "like a cataphore seen in the fog" in the direction of Saint-Genouph.
