Two people claim to have seen a U.F.O. in the Seine-et-Marne during the night from Thursday to Friday, one in Cesson and the other in Boissise-le-Roi, we learn from a police source.
According to the testimony to the gendarmerie of the first person, the craft, circulating silently at very high speed and at high altitude, presented the appearance of a luminous rocket and moved in the north-south direction. The second witness, a resident of Ponthierry Saint Fargeau, provided the police with an almost identical description.
Another unidentified flying object was seen overnight from Friday to Saturday by residents of the small town of Cortegana, located in the mountainous region of the province of Huelva (southern Spain) near the Spanish-Portuguese border. The previous night, we recall, several U.F.O. had been seen over France and Portugal.
