Poitiers, 3. -- A resident of Poitiers, Mr. Bidault, saw this morning around 9:30 a.m., in the sky, at a very high altitude, a strange russet red and shiny object, moving at high speed and in jerks.
He immediately called his wife and a neighbor who in turn saw, distinctly, the flying saucer before it disappeared above the clouds.
