The article below was published in the daily newspaper La Voix du Nord, issue for the Aisne department, France, page 4, on October 20, 1954.
The phenomenon sighted in the sky of Tergnier, last Saturday, and to which witnesses attribute a form of funnel, was also observed in Chauny.
Indeed, that same day, at exactly 9:25 p.m., several reliable witnesses saw, moving at an impressive speed, a very luminous object, of which they could not clearly determine the shape, traveling without noise, on a horizontal and perfectly rectilinear line at approximately 300 m. altitude, and which crossed the Chauny sky, above the canal, east-west direction.
