Mr. Michel Leroux, 19, farmer, and his workers Raoul and Michel Chivot, all from Le Crotoy, said they had noticed the 10th from 8:15 p.m. 3 to 9 p.m., the presence in the sky, in the direction of St-Valéry, of a flying saucer first taken for a large star.
For over 40 minutes, they were able to examine the craft through binoculars. On several occasions, they saw it move by leaps and even turn around... At the same time, in the direction of the sea, between Le Hourdel and the point of Saint-Quentin, they saw another flying saucer illuminated in blue and red orange; the latter made only a brief appearance.
