One of our esteemed fellow citizens, Mr. Léon Saign, a fervent motorcyclist, was returning Tuesday evening, from a short night ride, when on the Saze plateau, he suddenly saw the sky crossed by a strange craft, offering the appearance of a cigar surrounded by a vivid glow.
As soon as he arrived in Avignon, he shared his bizarre encounter with his boss, Mr. Bourgin, who is at the head of military handling and who was a high-class aviator pilot.
There is no doubt that our fellow citizen has been another witness to the extravagant appearance of flying cigars.
