Was it a flying saucer that, coming from the northeast, flew over Lunéville on Saturday morning, then the Saône Valley? About ten residents of Lunéville saw, around 6 a.m., a round-shaped craft flying more slowly than a jet plane and leaving behind it a luminous yellowish trail.
At 7:45 a.m., several villagers from Gémeaux, in northern Côte-d'Or, saw a red sphere topped by a triangle, which remained stationary above the village for a few moments before resuming its course southward. The phenomenon had also been noticed half an hour earlier over Langres, in Haute-Marne.
Finally, at 8 a.m., several people living in the northern part of the Rhône department noticed the saucer flying silently at a low altitude, it seemed, leaving behind it the same yellow glow.
