Friday, around 7:30 p.m., several residents of the rue des Alpes were intrigued by the passage, in the sky, of a luminous object. It was going at a rapid pace from the direction of the siège 5 towards Barlin. It was not the light of an airplane; no noise was heard at that time. Nor a meteor, because the witnesses were able to follow the object (of orange hue) for about ten seconds.
One came to tell us all this.
And our volunteer correspondent added that "it was the size of an egg."
He told us all the same that it was not a saucer.
What was it?
Will we finally see a real one one day!
