The article below was published in the daily newspaper La Bourgogne Républicaine, Dijon, France, le 10 juin 1952.
The craft was seen Sunday evening above Pouilly-sur-Vingeanne by several reliable people.
One of them, Mr. ... is a former aviator pilot, he is a trained observer and therefore reliable.
"I was astonished to discover an absolutely unusual object, a real spindle without wings and without any protuberance; at regular intervals one could distinguish a brief flashing. The spindle emitted a very thick white smoke but which dissipated quickly. The cigar passed almost vertically and 40 to 50 seconds later, I heard a fairly loud rumble but clearly different from the shrill noise of jet planes. It was at an altitude of about 15,000 meters. Its speed was faster than a jet plane."
All this clearly shows that this is indeed one of these strange flying cigars!
