Montceau-les-Mines (from our P.C.). - Saucers or flying cigars are topical, but the generality of Earthlings remains skeptical about the existence of these mysterious objects. MM. Burato and Bastiani, Blanzy residents, aged 20, were among them, at least until yesterday.
Indeed, on their way to work by bicycle, around 1 p.m., a few hectometers from the Saint-Louis well and 100 meters from the road where they were traveling, they saw a craft in the form of a brown shell placed in plowed land. The craft emitted a rather soft whistling sound. This is actually what caught their attention.
Suffocated by this apparition, they nevertheless dismounted to take a closer look, but the craft suddenly rose vertically and disappeared at breakneck speed.
It was not an optical illusion, MM. Burato and de Bastiani, who are perfectly balanced young people, excellent cyclists well known in Burgundy, moreover.
And now they believe in saucers...
