RODEZ. -- Everything happens, even UFOs. Until now, the department of Aveyron seemed to be away from the routes usually followed by the mysterious flying objects, the latter being much more interested in Aude, Hérault, and especially in Gard.
Mystification, confusion with a U.F.O. (Flying object identifiable but not identified by the witnesses) or collective minihallucination, the fact remains that four inhabitants of the small village of Saint-Martin-de-Faux, on the Lévezou plate, between Salles-Curan and Arvieu, were able to follow, Tuesday evening, the moves of a big red ball.
It went out and then came back on three times before disappearing behind a hill. The sighting lasted five minutes.
