On Tuesday morning, in the territory of the commune of Binges, residents found a weather balloon belonging to the American army. The device consisted of a large red parachute supporting precision instruments. The entire assembly was taken to the gendarmerie in Pontailler-sur-Saône.
It may have been the object seen in various places throughout the region, which some were a bit too quick to label a "flying saucer."
