The article underneath was published in the daily newspaper Ouest-France, France, on August 7, 1968.
Two girls of 18 and 20 years old, on holiday in the island of Noirmoutier, Michele Bouyer, of Nantes and Sylvie Bonhomme of Boulogne-sur-Mer, who returned at about 01:30 of the morning from Noirmoutier to l'Epine, saw in the marsh a craft in a flattened egg shape which flew away very fast in the sky after having alternatively lit red and orange fires.
While they walked on the road, the attention of the two girls had been drawn by a white gleam. Fearing an always possible aggression, they had stopped and had then heard an attenuated engine noise before seeing the craft rising in the sky in front of them.
All that had lasted five minutes at the maximum.
A few days earlier, a Parisian young person, Yves Hamelin, 20-year-old, on holiday at the camp-site of Charpy, also was the witness of an identical scene to which one had not granted a credit for he was alone.
