Voray-sur-l'Ognon. -- One of last these evenings, at 10:20 p.m., two residents of Voray-sur-l'Ognon (the Haute-Saône), Dr. Chapuis and Mr. Thierry Jr., car repairman, were traveling by car between Perrouse and Buthiers, when they saw suddenly in the sky, a bright elongated light, like a cigar, which was moving at a high speed and high altitude, in the north-south direction. This strange appearance lasted about fifteen seconds.
