Bligny sur Ouche: the same phenomenon was observed by eight people in the hamlet of Becoup by Aubaine, on Saturday, October 18 at 7:06 p.m. The cylindrical craft appeared to be the size and length of a bottle but of equal dimensions from one end to the other, the front of a very bright red over a quarter of the total length, the rest of a very bright green color. The bolide left behind it a trail of red sparks. It moved from west to east at a speed much greater than that of a jet plane and at an inestimable height. This craft could be seen very clearly and took no more than 20 seconds to disappear from the field of vision. Is it a flying cigar or a natural phenomenon?
