The sky of Provence becomes a boulevard of unidentified flying objects. The gendarmes of Peyrolles (Rhone delta) collected yesterday, several testimonys of inhabitants of Meyrargues who ensure to have seen during five good minutes (and for one of them at 200 meters from him), two autonomous and close together luminous balls which flew in formation at 50 or 100 km-hour, emitting the noise, but weaker, of a jet. The "unidentified flying objects" disappeared towards the North-West, in direction of the Durance. These spheroids seemed to have 1 meter in diameter and 3 to 4 meters in real length. No little green man was reported in the area.
Note: the newspaper published the story twice.
