1. The Valence saucer left traces (in the maize)

MRS. LEBOEUF (opposite) did not yet comfort herself to have been so frightened the other Sunday by seeing in a field of the commune of Chabeuil (Drôme) a "man from another world" - Instead of trying to approach, her fear was such that she went to hide the head between the hands behind a hedge. The man was a being of small size, "like a kid whom one would have put in a cellophane bag. He had a human face, but apparently no arms. When Mrs. Leboeuf looked up, she did not see anybody any more. But soon, she perceived a noise in the maize field opposite and saw a strange machine rising in the sky. It was perhaps three meters in diameter and sixty centimetres in thickness. It flew in skew during a hundred meters, then rocked from the horizontal to the vertical and climbed straight up at a vertiginous speed. One could find, in the field indicated by Mrs. Leboeuf, traces similar to those which a landed apparatus could have left (our photograph above on the left); branches of acacias were broken around (above, in the center). Our drawing, above, on the right, shows finally the respective sites of Mrs. Leboeuf, the scarecrow-man and the "saucer" in the maize field and its surroundings.

To make the sketch more readable, I retyped and translated its captions in English:
