Romans. -- An unidentified flying object was observed in recent days above Fay-le-Clos, a small town in the north of the Drôme by several of its residents. It was around 10 p.m. that at 150 meters from a farm a large luminous object was seen moving at high speed.
"We went to park our car in the farmyard," explains a witness. "It was then that a red ball stopped silently in the sky. There was beautiful moonlight and we was able to observe the phenomenon for a good twenty minutes."
