The article below was published in the daily newspaper Ouest France, France, on January 23, 1979.
A UFO was reportedly seen in Bannalec (Finistère), on the evening of January 6, around 10 p.m. The only witness, the manager of the fish farm in Saint-Mathieu, did not immediately reveal his observation... for fear of ridicule.
He said he saw a flying object, in the shape of a "Britton hat", surmounted by an antenna. The phenomenon lasted one to two minutes. The craft, which moved at a low height, diffused a blue-green glow and emitted a slight whistling sound. Very frightened, the witness' dog fled.
The gendarmerie has opened an investigation.
