Herve Delpuech, aged 42, electrical engineer and his sister Evelyne, secretary with La Littorale in Béziers, naturally inclined to discretion were hardly filled with enthusiasm at the idea to entrust to the police officers their "vision" in the sky of Béziers, Friday, towards 06:20 p.m., behind the college Jean-Moulin while looking towards downtown.
And yet, it is undeniable, they had just seen a luminous machine moving horizontally, far in space at the horizon of Beziers, the time of a few seconds. Of an indefinite shape, perhaps oval, of orange color around and phosphorescent green in the luminous trail, the U.F.O., as it must be called anyway, disappeared without leaving any trace in the sky.
Note: Nothing makes it possible to exclude that it was a meteor.
