Nevers (from our C.P.). -- Three mysterious craft were still seen in the skies of the Nivernais. In Chevenon, three people: MM. Chevrier and Mattet and Mme Couraud saw very clearly a disc coming from the east and going towards the west. In its mad rush, the disc left behind a luminous trail.
In Raveau, the deputy mayor of this locality Mr. Léonard Bounyn observed a luminous red globe at very high altitude. It was heading south-east north-west. This incandescent globe was also seen by MM. Fressard and Ghouard.
Also, in Nevers, above the municipal park, the pupils of the Saint-Cyr institute saw a craft circular in shape and very shiny. This craft which came from the east was heading towards the west was also seen by the students' teacher.
