BREST. -- Three fishermen aboard the boat "L'explorateur" from Moëlan-sur-Mer (Finistère) discovered a strange object floating on the water offshore last night.
It was a circle made of duralumin, 1.5 meters in diameter, with two crossbars inside. Attached to the crossbars were two flashlights, both of which were working perfectly. Five large balloons (three red, one yellow, and one white) inflated with oxygen [!] were tied to the circle with metal wires.
This saucer had fallen into the sea after one of the balloons burst. The fishermen brought the object back to the port of Brigneau.
The gendarmerie is trying to determine who built this saucer, which had been seen flying over the region.
