Finally! One of our fellow citizens saw something. Saturday, around 3 in the morning, Mr. Marcel Réty, grocer, place de l'Hotel-de-Ville, who went to the market of Amiens saw in the sky, not without some fright - he humbly evokes - "a kind of wheel of auto volante ", very bright, yellow rather than orange, which moved without any noise at high speed in the south-north direction.
