Did the extraterrestrials appear yesterday morning in the sky of Périgueux? It is at least what claims a city police officer, Christian Eytier, 45, who isin charge of an important police station of the suburbs of this city. "At about 6:30, while driving my car, in company of my daughter and a neighbor's kid, coming from my home, I saw a curious luminous object above us, which followed us during 5 to 6 kilometers. A driver of a lorry, my daughter and my neighbor saw it too.
"I can insist that I was sober, for I do not put any alcool in my coffee. But, this time, I preferred to report it with the gendarmerie, qualified in this kind of matters.
"I remember a rectangle surrounded by luminous balls and equipped with a sort of projector which emitted rays." The "spaceship" flew above his car, sometimes at a hundred meters height, oat ther times much lower, zigzaging above the trees that border the road, while circling."
