Although not yet explained, the appearances of mysterious craft in the Picardy sky seem to become the most ordinary thing there is and it is with much less interest that one records the statements of people who, for their part, have seen...
It is for example, a resident of Hornoy who was working in the fields in the afternoon, when she saw a faceted craft, shiny, which moved at high altitude and very high speed.
In Amiens, it was a schoolteacher, Mr. Biencourt who, around 9 p.m., was returning to his home, when he saw a vertically descending fire globe. For a few seconds various colors appeared to M. Biencourt, who subsequently saw nothing. Saucer or atmospheric phenomenon?
Finally, a young typographer was returning to Dury-les-Amiens by bicycle in the evening, around 7 p.m., when he saw a large craft posed in the fields, 150 meters from the road, between a farm and the cemetery of Dury-les-Amiens: the craft had the shape of an egg of 10 m. in diameter and 3 m. in height; smoke was escaping from behind and the craft made no noise.
