In our issue for of Tuesday, August 6, we reported on various testimonies evoking the passage, Thursday evening in the sky of France and Touraine, of a strange luminous phenomenon.
Let us recall the testimony of Mr. Delabarre from Cléré-lès-Pins, walking his Labrador around 9:35 p.m.: "I saw a sort of cigar-shaped flame of several colors: white, orange, sometimes blue." Some even spoke of "a phosphorescent tail". We can imagine the trauma of the victims of this horrific vision.
However, the surprise came yesterday from new testimonies: "They came back", explains one of our readers, Yvonne Guiloiseau, who, with her husband Roger, had witnessed the first appearance of the UFO. And on Wednesday, around 10 p.m., the couple living at 5, rue du Dr Denoyelle, in Tours, experienced exactly the same phenomenon: "We were in our living room watching television and we saw, like the last time, something very high in the sky. With eyes like headlights and like luminous arms hanging on each side." The thing remained motionless for a long time: "We preferred to close the shutters. But we wonder where it came from", comments Yvonne Guiloiseau, still with a hint of anxiety in her voice. A story that goes against the first explanations provided by researchers at the National Center for Space Studies in Toulouse, for whom it was a meteorite weighing several kilos that entered the Earth's atmosphere.
It should be noted that the military base currently under construction is not experiencing any aerial activity and that no UFOs have been reported there, nor have the gendarmerie or the police station in Tours.
