UFOs in the daily Press:

A mysterious craft explodes in the sky over Dieppe

Dieppe (A.F.P.)

Yesterday morning, between 4:30 and 5:15 a.m., nearly 70 dockworkers at the port of Dieppe saw a blinding light in the sky, followed four minutes later by a tremendous explosion that blew open many doors and shattered windows throughout the town.

Most of the residents of Dieppe were awakened by the deafening noise. It does not appear to be a hallucination, as the testimonies are numerous and agree on almost every point. There is only some disagreement among witnesses regarding the direction of the light, which some say came from the north, and others from the west.

The postal van operating between Dieppe and Rouen was near the former at the time the light appeared. But according to the two occupants of the vehicle, the explosion occurred eight minutes after the light.

Witnesses are unequivocal

The Dieppe semaphore communicated with that of Fécamp and with those of all the small ports along the coast. All confirmed that the phenomenon was observed in these different locations. However, the semaphore at Le Havre reported no such event.

Meanwhile, several witnesses residing in La Mailleraye, a town about 80 kilometers south of Dieppe, and in Serqueux, about 50 kilometers southeast of Dieppe, were categorical: they saw the light coming from the direction of Dieppe.

It is also worth noting that about a week ago, a fishing boat arrived in Dieppe riddled with small fragments that could have come from a meteorite.

At the moment, the nature of this strange phenomenon remains a mystery.

Same phenomenon in Orchies and Arras

Lille (A.F.P.)

Yesterday morning at 8:27 a.m., a railway employee starting his shift at Orchies station saw a fiery disc moving horizontally at breakneck speed. A glowing trail followed the red-hot disc as it moved across the sky.

The same phenomenon was seen at about the same time in Arras. One witness said they saw the disc hovering for a moment in the sky but did not have time to study it before it resumed its course and vanished over the horizon.
