UFOs in the daily Press:

Did you see it?

THE "MARTIAN" FROM HAUTE-MARNE IS SMALL AND HAIRY

He wears a corset and a plush hat

SAINT-DIZIER. -- Mr. Narcy, a road worker, had left his home very early to go by bicycle to a work site near Wassy. He took a departmental road to get there.

It was between La Neuville-à-Rémy and Voillecomte that he witnessed an unusual sight.

"It was 7:15 a.m.," he recounts. "As I was riding, I was approaching the 'Old Tile Factory' when, on my left in the fields, I saw something orange. At first I thought it was a tree whose leaves had turned yellow. As I got closer, I thought it was a tarp spread out on the ground, or a camper’s tent."

"Suddenly, I realized it was a mysterious craft. Leaving my motorcycle by the roadside, I ran into the pasture toward the object. The craft was on the ground, at the bottom of a hollow from which clay used to be extracted for the now-ruined tile factory. From a distance I had only seen the dome of the saucer, which gradually became fully visible to me."

"I was about a hundred meters away and beginning to make out all the details, when I saw a being standing next to the craft. He was about 1.2 meters tall. He appeared to be entirely covered in hair or else wearing a very tight fur suit. Around his waist, he wore a kind of wide orange corset. On his head, he had a sort of plush toque. Motionless, he seemed to be watching me. I got scared. I stopped. Making a gesture, I called out to him. Then, he quickly reentered his craft."

"When he bent down to enter through a round-shaped porthole, I clearly saw that he had arms. I had enough time to see the saucer in detail. Spherical in shape, it was about ten meters in diameter. Below the sphere was a kind of spindle. The porthole was located between the sphere and the spindle; it closed over the small being."

A kind of smoke came out from one end of the spindle, while a great disturbance occurred beneath the saucer, which then rose vertically. Everything quickly disappeared into the clouds, which were quite low that morning. I only heard a sort of humming sound, like that of an electric motor."

Traces of the craft in the grass and dew – notably a milky substance and skid marks – were observed by Mr. Narcy and other roadmen whom he had gone to fetch.

A FORMER COMMISSIONER OF THE AERO CLUB OF FRANCE OBSERVED AN "UNIDENTIFIED CRAFT"

MELUN. -- A newspaper from Coulommiers published a letter from one of its readers, Mr. E. Farnier, a member of the Society of Civil Engineers of France, concerning flying saucers.

In the letter, Mr. Farnier states that he saw, above his property in Jouy-sur-Morin, a large disc 8 to 10 meters in diameter, "spinning in place while emitting red-violet lights, with a whistling sound reminiscent of a jet aircraft arriving. The craft was about 400 meters high and hovered above me for more than twenty minutes. I therefore, says Mr. Farnier, had ample time to examine it carefully. The craft then disappeared in the direction of Coulommiers."

Mr. Farnier specifies: "As a former commissioner with the Aero Club of France, having served in aviation, I was not the victim of a hallucination and this craft was not a weather balloon, but a thick, circular wing hovering in place and then moving at very high speed while gradually gaining altitude."

THE GREEKS HAVE SEEN THEM TOO...

ATHENS. -- The inhabitants of the island of Mytilene claim to have seen a luminous object yesterday afternoon. These accounts have been confirmed by the mayor of the town of Vrissas and were included in an official report to the Greek Ministry of the Interior.

For fifteen minutes, many witnesses saw a luminous object moving about, which, due to its distance, looked like a large star. The saucer moved rapidly toward the northeast, then turned north, and finally disappeared toward the west.
