Mr. André Potel, driver at the Delanno[...] establishments, living rue Jean-Jaurès in Noeux-les-Mines, saw during the night from the 6th to the 7th around 0:11 a.m., a craft in the shape of a mushroom, surrounded by a reddish line, and which remained motionless in the sky.
Mr. Potel called his family and they were able to watch the craft together for about 20 minutes. Then the object disappeared behind the surrounding woods.
Mr. Potel, who is very well known in our city, went to make his statement at the Noeux-les-Mines police station.
