Perigueux (AP). -- A 19-year-old student, Joseph Palatino and his sister Anne-Marie, a 14-year-old high school student, observed Thursday evening around 7:15 p.m., on three occasions, and in less than a quarter of an hour, a strange phenomenon in the sky of Beauregard-de-Terrasson where they live.
Indeed, appeared, coming from the north and heading towards the south-east, three glows of a yellow orange having the size of a grapefruit, followed by three white balls of the same size, moving in the shape of "V" oscillating up and down, and a conical shaped white glow forward.
Everything was moving at very high speed, and in the greatest silence. The authorities, informed, immediately seized the gendarmerie for the purpose of investigation.
