On Tuesday evening, around 6 p.m., students from Saint-Joseph School were on Rue Porte-Poterne when they saw, high above the Clairet house on Place des Lices, a red disc at a very great altitude.
After remaining stationary for a few seconds, the disc suddenly ascended vertically at great speed, then disappeared in the direction of Auray, leaving behind a cloud of black smoke where it had been.
The three young people - J.N.T., D.M., and G.M. - described the scene to their parents in identical terms, and according to their accounts, an adult who was nearby also witnessed the phenomenon.
We would be pleased if this witness would come forward to confirm the statements of the three young people.
