UFOs in the daily Press:

Was it a flying saucer?

A celestial phenomenon was observed by a very large number of people yesterday in the Jura department. A white, luminous-looking sphere remained at a fixed point in the sky for several hours. Its height made an angle of about 70 degrees on the horizon and was clearly higher than the few clouds of this beautiful morning.

It was observed by a road user who was kind enough to inform us and who told us that he had discovered the object near the village of Ounans, around 9 o'clock in the morning. He was able to see it, still motionless and at the same point, all the way to Dole. After Dole, the sky having become filled with clouds, the sphere was definitively hidden, around noon, by the cloud layer.

The luminous object presented a sector of shadows giving the impression of the sphere. Some observers would have examined it with binoculars and would have detected a reddish ring. On the road and in the localities crossed, our informant assures that there were many witnesses, looking at this kind of bubble of an unidentified kind.

It is very probable that because of the fixity and the duration of the phenomenon, careful observations will no longer be noted and that a rational explanation will be given shortly.
