DOUAI (A.F.P.). -- An orange form, rather luminous, was seen in the sky of the Douaisis, towards 1 hour 40, in the night from Sunday to Monday, by a gendarme in retirement, Mr. Jean Lacroix, residing in Sin-le-Noble.
This object, according to this witness, carried out a sinuous course towards the south, then moved in the opposite direction, was immobilized one moment, then set out again very quickly, at a speed comparable if not higher than that of a jet plane.
Mr. Lacroix, who did not believe before in the "flying saucers" and other mysterious objects, is now less skeptical.
