UFOs in the daily Press:

UFO OR METEOR ABOVE AVIGNON, FRANCE, 1981:

The article underneath has been published in the daily newspaper Le Provençal, France, page 1, le 21 septembre 1981.

UFO last night on Avignon?

OUR AVIGNON NEWSROOM received yesterday evening after 8 p.m. multiple phone calls. At the end of the line, a voice and a question: "Did you see the huge ball in the sky a quarter of an hour ago?" Thus, according to testimonys, a large gleam of red orange color, around 07:45 p.m., suddenly lit the sky of Avignon. Some locate the observation towards the Durance, others above Villeneuve-lès-Avignon. This phenomenon lasted only a few seconds. Yesterday, at that hour, the sky was cloudy, there was no sunset, it could not be a plane. So? Of course, many think that the UFOs are back! If you witnessed this strange phenomenon, contact us today.

Note: The sparse description does not allow to exclude a meteor.
