The Martians carried out their first hold-up on earth yesterday, say the inhabitants of the village of Almonaster la Real, in the province of Huelva, Spain. Two strange beings, dressed in shiny and luminous costumes and emitting powerful rays of light, have indeed seized the identity card and the watch of a woman resident of the village. The latter, whose identity has not been revealed, had to be hospitalized in a state of shock.
According to her first testimony, the two Martians would be women, one very tall and the other tiny. None of the villagers reported the presence of these two beings. On the other hand, several people claim to have seen in recent days, and on several occasions, a strange object which moved in the sky.
