Chaumont (C.P.). -- The evening before last, at 8:10 p.m. in Vignory and at 10:40 p.m. in Brottes, villages in Haute-Marne, an orange-colored object was seen by various witnesses.
In the first case, the object rose at a dizzying speed into the sky. The second time, it was an employee of the Chaumont bus company, Mr. Taillandier, living in Brottes, who, with his wife and daughter, saw a similar glow moving very fast, coming from Meuilly and heading toward Vignory.
In both cases, no sound was heard. And (what a pity) no hairy-faced Martian with crow-like eyes was reported!
Miss Aurélie Bolnot, from Avot, stated that as she was leaving her home on Wednesday around 6:30 p.m., she saw a flying saucer passing at the height of the forest on the mountain, coming from the west and heading toward the southeast. The spherical shape had an orange glow, leaving a trail along its path.
