Two inhabitants of the hamlet of Lentheric, an agricultural pensioner and his wife, who went outside at approximately 10:30 p.m., Wednesday evening, to take wood for their chimney... saw a strange flying object: "a machine of the size of a montgolfier on fire" they stated.
After checking with the services of the Gendarmerie and the Army (military Delegation of Montpellier and School of application) no helicopter or military plane was in operation at that hour - the hour of arrival of the airliner coming from Paris bound for Béziers-Vias in the sector.
The questioned neighbouring town halls did not collect any other concordant testimony.
