Auxerre, September 27. -- Mrs. Jouffroy, widow, and Miss Fin, residing in Diges (Yonne), claim to have seen a "flying saucer" on Friday morning at 8 a.m. that landed in a field. Its "pilot" was inspecting the "craft," whose upper door was open, and it departed a few minutes later, leaving two visible marks in the damp soil.
Copenhagen, September 27. -- A luminous object resembling a huge fluorescent tube and moving at high speed across the sky was observed this evening for 5 seconds by several residents of the town of Svensorg, in Funen.
Lisbon, September 27. -- "A very large concentration of extraordinarily bright light" was seen in the middle of the Atlantic, off the Azores, at 37 degrees West longitude and 38 degrees North latitude, by Captain Freeman of "Pan American Airways," who was piloting a plane on the New York – South Africa route.
The captain specified that this light could not be mistaken, either by its brilliance or by the vast area it covered, for light projected by a ship.
