As recently as yesterday, saucers, discs, cigars, and other "strange"-shaped objects caught the attention of residents in several regions of France.
The "cigar" sighted above Corbigny (Nièvre) was moving at high speed and carried two discs on its underside. However, for an office employee, it appeared as a large luminous disc, emitting a very bright glow at the rear.
The "saucer" observed at Montlevic (Indre) was moving slowly. In Saint-Plantaire, about thirty kilometers from there, a luminous craft was the size of a football.
In Orthez, around twenty people were dazzled by the brightness of a disc that then turned red as it hovered motionless for a few seconds.
In the Loiret, oval-shaped or "strangely" shaped objects crossed the atmosphere at very high altitude.
Finally, in Saint-Bihy (Côtes-du-Nord), several luminous spheres were witnessed by patrons of a bar.
