A UFO has appeared every evening, for one week approximately, in the sky of the community of Saint-Porchaire (the Charente-Maritime) where many reseidents managed to observe it, as well as the gendarmes who opened an investigation.
Last Friday, the apparatus appeared during some twenty minutes at approximately 10:15 p.m. and a short power blackout occurred at the time when it flew over the power line feeding the village. Then it disappeared while following its usual trajectory towards the North.
The UFO had been seen last Monday at about the same hour by two residents of Saint-Porchaire, who were going home in a car. It was, according to their statements to the gendarmerie, an "enormous and blazing object whose gleam set ablaze all the windshield" and who moved away "quickly and by jerks", when the headlights of the car reached it.
