"CIGARS"
FLY IN FORMATION

Bayonne, 21 Sep. -- Some residents of Bayonne claim to have seen this afternoon, very high in the sky, in a northeast direction, three mysterious objects of light tint, cutting on the pure sky at that hour.

A peacekeeper, Mr. Corrions, who was in the Halles district, observed these three immobile craft, arranged in a triangle, of slightly oval shape. They were, he said, the size of a rugby ball and appeared to be at a considerable height.

Passers-by said they saw the same bright objects in other places.

Nancy. -- Several dozen "Sidelor" workers living in the Lantéfontaine-les-Baroches region (M.-et-M.), claim to have seen in the sky six flying cigars, between 4:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m.

"We first saw, they said, two "cigars", then later four other craft came to join the first two. All remained motionless for a moment and finally disappeared instantly. These statements are confirmed by several other people.

Le Puy, 25. - Mrs. Chaumard, living in the Girette district in Le Puy, saw in the sky a craft having a shape like a glowing cigar at one end, silent and appearing motionless, she could observe the craft for almost a quarter of an hour, then the "cigar" suddenly disappeared while gaining altitude.
