A very luminous, white, vertical circular object, 1.10 meters in diameter, about three meters away.
A farmer, 74-year-old J. B. Collange, was watching his cows on a clear, calm morning when he suddenly observed, in an easterly direction, a vertical circular object about three meters away, the bottom edge about 30 cm from the ground. It measured about 1.10 meters in diameter, was very luminous, white, but not blinding. Many filaments of various colors were radiating from the disk. Their length varied between 0.5 and two meters. The object rose over a hedge and was lost to sight behind some woods. One saucer was observed.
