Saint-Brieuc, August 18 (F.T.). -- Searches were undertaken in vain off the coast, opposite Val-André, following statements made by summer visitors from Saint-Mathurin, near Pléneuf, who claim to have seen, yesterday around 8 p.m., a plane fall into the sea, about four kilometers from the shore.
They stated that after the passage of a plane, they noticed black smoke in the sky, followed by a large flame above the waves.
No evidence has been found to confirm that it was indeed an aviation accident, and no aircraft has been reported missing from the airfields of the West or the Paris region.
