UFOs in the daily Press:

Three flying saucers spotted yesterday at 5 p.m. in the sky of Bayonne?

Yesterday afternoon around 5 p.m., many trustworthy residents of Bayonne saw very high in the sky, toward the northeast, three mysterious craft, light in color, standing out clearly against the very clear sky at that hour.

Thus, Mr. Corrihons, a police officer, told us after other people questioned on Rue Maubec and at the Allées Marines:

"It was around 5 p.m., I was near the market halls when I noticed many people staring at a point in the sky and saying they saw strange spots. Shortly after, being on Rue Poissonnerie, I again saw a man watching the sky with binoculars. Intrigued, I looked in the same direction and indeed saw, very high, toward the east, three motionless phenomena, arranged in a triangle, light in color, slightly oval in shape. Seen from here, these spots were the size of a rugby ball, but the distance was considerable and only people with good eyesight could make them out in the sky."

As there had been a balloon release in Biarritz at about that time, we asked whether by chance... But the answers were unanimous. There could be no confusion between balloons and the phenomena observed yesterday, we were told without exception.

Let us note that a flying cigar was said to have been seen in the Puy-de-Dôme; that two gendarmes from Châteauroux claimed to have seen in the sky of Montierchaume (Indre) a luminous craft which, after remaining motionless, sped away; that flying cigars and shining discs were said to have been observed by Mr. Fortin, above Niort; and that Mr. Louis Moll, village policeman at Oberdorff (Moselle), claimed to have seen abnormal lights in the sky.
