ONE WAS SEEN IN SAINT-VENANT. -- Yes, undoubtedly, several people living on rue de Paris - Mr. André Bocquet, butcher, the very first - were able to see in the sky, on Tuesday a little before 11 a.m. an illuminated white ball clearly having the looks and characteristics of a flying saucer.
In a few moments a crowd formed to observe the luminous phenomenon, which suddenly disappeared, evaporated, heading north.
As many people have seen the "illuminated white ball" it can be certified that this is not an individual case of hallucination. And according to data provided by witnesses, the saucer seems to meet the definition given by Alton's physicist.
Note that the appearance of saucers is rare in daylight and generally occurs at night.
