UFOs in the daily Press:

Did a flying saucer land in the Yonne?

TWO WITNESSES CLAIM TO HAVE SEEN THE CRAFT AND ITS PILOT IN A FIELD

AUXERRE. -- From two different vantage points and without having spoken to each other, Mrs. Jouffroy, a widow, and Miss Fin, from Diges (Yonne), saw a flying saucer on Friday morning at 9 a.m.

The pilot, standing next to the craft, was of average height and was taller than the saucer. Mrs. Jouffroy got frightened and ran away. Miss Fin had time to observe the craft, whose upper door was open. The pilot was crouching and looking into the vehicle. After taking a detour through a wooded area, Miss Fin looked again three minutes later, but the saucer had flown away. On the ground, there were visible marks in the morning dew where the skids of the spacecraft had rested.

PORTUGUESE FARMERS CLAIM TO HAVE WITNESSED THE LANDING OF A FLYING SAUCER AND ITS CREW

LISBON, September 27. -- Visitors from another world may have landed on September 24 in the Gardunha mountains, on the Spanish-Portuguese border: this was reported to the newspaper "Diario de Lisboa" by a farmer who, along with three of his coworkers, was working in the area.

"A sphere appeared in the sky to the east," said the witness. "It was flying at a dizzying speed and emitted multicolored flashes. It landed silently 200 meters from us, and two figures about 2.5 meters tall came out. They looked like aluminum men. These visitors first picked some grass and collected stones, which they placed in a dazzlingly bright box. Then, noticing us, they came toward us and made some sounds."

"As we didn't understand them, they gestured to invite us aboard their craft. When we refused, they climbed back into the machine, which took off vertically and disappeared toward the south."

The witness added that only the poles of the sphere rotated, while the central part was transparent and showed moving shadows inside.

Is this finally a photo of a flying saucer?

Is this the famous flying saucer? No. But it is the mysterious "flying cage-bed" that has just had its first trials at the Farnborough Air Show. This extraordinary device has no wings, takes off and lands vertically, moves in all directions, and is powered by the directed force of its jet engines.
