TOULOUSE. -- The passengers of flying saucers seem to be interested in the Indochina question. That is the surprising conclusion reportedly reached by Mr. Jean Marty, 42, a mechanic living in Léguevin (Haute-Garonne). Mr. Marty stated that he saw, during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, a luminous disc land in the middle of a field. The object measured 6 to 7 meters in diameter and 2.5 meters in height.
Mr. Marty was working around 10:30 p.m. in his workshop, located along the Toulouse road, facing a field about 1.5 km from Léguevin. Looking up, he noticed the luminous object. Intrigued, he went outside, crossed the road, and approached the disc, which then rose silently, vertically, and disappeared at an astonishing speed. Mr. Marty walked to the center of the field to examine the landing spot. He found no trace, but did discover two small piles of glossy white paper lying on the grass.
The sheets, commercial size, were neither soiled, nor wet, nor crumpled, but in pristine condition, as if freshly torn from a new brochure. Mr. Marty handed them over to the gendarmerie. They were examined by a retired multilingual former soldier who had spent many years in Indochina and now lives in Léguevin, Mr. Marty. He stated that the text was in quoc-ngu, an Annamite dialect, and that it dealt with matters of interest to the Viet Minh and Vietnam.
HAMBURG. -- "The pilots of flying saucers are intelligent plants," according to a theory presented to an Agence France-Presse correspondent by Professor Hermann Oberth, inventor and builder of the famous "V-2" rocket.
According to the German scientist, these "uranides" (as he calls these beings) are thousands of years ahead of Earth humans, both spiritually and technically. The uranides’ home planet would be one where no oxygen exists in a gaseous state.
