The article below was published in the daily newspaper Var-Matin - République, France, on May 30, 1974.
Sveps, 6 rue Paulin Guérin, 83 100 Toulon, was alerted on Monday March 27, 1974 that at 9:30 a.m., a relatively low object in the shape of a shell moving silently, was seen by several people between Brignoles and Val.
It would be desirable to complete the ongoing investigation, that witnesses of this phenomenon make themselves known as soon as possible to Sveps.
This craft came from the east and seemed to be heading southwest. Shiny steel color and hovering, then advancing in a zigzag at a slow speed.
