TOKYO (A.F.P.). -- A "ball of fire" fell into the sea, in the night from Monday to Tuesday, in the east of Nemuro (Hokkaido), and six ships of unknown nationality converged at once towards the fallin spot of the mysterious object.
The crews of fishing ships of the area think that it could be a a Soviet satellite or a missile.
The coastal authorities of Nemuro stated to the press that they had interrogated the fishermen but had been unable to obtain precise indications. The fishing ships located on their radar screens the ships which navigated the waters close to the place where "the object" landed on sea. The fishermen are said to have also seen a dark form, which could have been a submarine, in the vicinity.
