App- arently increaing in volume, the ob j ect stopped Guddenly, became bright red, and seemed to explode, but the observer did not hear uny noise. At 2115 hours on 14 Auguot 1952, two persons in the city of Constantine a luminous object flying nt high speed toward Guelma. According to the witness, the apparatus, which had no r esemblance to flying Gaucer, e ited a very bright light.
