Case summary: A WHITE FOAM BALL LANDS AT THE STATION OF QUIMPER
In its edition of last Thursday
"Le Télégramme" gave an extremely plausible explanation to certain observations concerning
the flying saucers. It would only be, in certain cases, traces left by the "stratojet" planes
flying at a very high altitude. The formation of a white foam moving in the sky would be
due to condensation of certain elements of the propellant of the "stratojet"
in the rarefied and cold atmosphere.
Yesterday, at the station of Quimper, a phenomenon identical to that which was reported
in Vienna (Isère) was observed. It was approximately 10 o'clock when employees of the
station, among which were MM Moreau, assistant to the mayor of Ergué-Armel, Blanchard,
national deputy stationmaster pointsman saw a white ball which landed at the end of the
quay. Of course, this phenomenon highly excited general curiosity. At landing,
The ball had preserved by a roughly spherical form and presented the aspect of the foam of a soap.
As for its odor, some claim that it neared Cologne, others said soap
and others lastly claimed that the famous ball did not smell anything at all.
Finally, when one seized part of this kind of foam in the fingers, it
volitilized completely and there remained absolutely nothing of it.
The services of the General Intelligence, alerted by Mr. Moreau, came to the location.
