It was around eight o'clock in the morning, and Mr. Julien L… was making his way to his chicken coop located at the far end of a meadow quite a distance from his farm. He entered the meadow and began to cut across it diagonally to go around the thicket that occupies part of it. He was about fifteen meters from the trees when suddenly he saw a strange assembly of spheres appear above them.
The whole thing took the shape of a horizontal capital T, the bar facing forward, and flew slowly just above the treetops, giving the impression of wanting to land. The bar of the T was made up of at least three rows of nine spheres and followed by at least three rows of eight to ten spheres.
Each sphere had a diameter of 30 to 40 cm and was separated from its neighbour by a space of 5 to 10 cm. All of these balls were a light dull grey, like wood ash. And they all ROLLED HEAVILY into each other like marbles rolling down a slope.
The apparition was absolutely silent
The startled witness turned back toward the road to see if, by chance, there might be a providential cyclist able to confirm his astonishing vision. The road was deserted.
The witness turned his gaze back to the spheres, which must have been less than 10 meters from his head.
Intense luminous light –
But even before he could lay eyes on them, he was blinded by an intense luminous sensation WITHOUT THERE HAVING BEEN THE SLIGHTEST EMISSION OF LIGHT. The dazzling had occurred in his eyes and he saw nothing again. "It was as if I had looked at the sun… I went to feed the grain to my chickens but only about five minutes later, because at first, I couldn’t see anything at all… No matter where I looked, it was the same everywhere; I only saw large, bright stars dancing in front of me. Half an hour later, I still had little bright spots in my eyes… I've never SEEN that.
Diamond shaped dark cloud appears –
And then when I came back from the chicken coop (150 meters from the scene of the incident and about half an hour later), I noticed above Bette a curious dark, low cloud, diamond-shaped and that seemed solid. It was the only one in the blue sky. It struck me as odd, but I don't know if it had any connection with the balls or not… And then it dissipated right there…
