LOUHANS. -- A farmer from Lays-sur-le-Doubs, near Pierre-de-Bresse (Saône-et-Loire), Mr. Ernest Joly, 52, has just made a strange discovery.
In the middle of a plot sown with barley, with an area of one hectare, he was surprised to find a furrow eight meters sixty long and two meters wide, with a depth of up to forty centimeters in the center.
Each end of the furrow ends in a point. In a perimeter of ten meters around this cavity, several cylindrical anchor points, six to eight centimeters in diameter and twelve to fourteen centimeters deep, have been identified.
On the walls of the furrow, the ten extraordinarily polished anchor points, appears a greyish substance which has been the subject of meticulous sampling by the gendarmes.
