La Croix Albi. -- A motorist from Briatexte (Tarn), Mr. Jean-Pierre Mitto, a technical agent in a company currently exhibiting at the "Household Arts" fair in Toulouse, reported having encountered, at nightfall on Route 631, the passengers of a flying saucer.
"Returning from Toulouse with two relatives," he said, "I suddenly made out in the beam of my headlights two small figures crossing the road, only a few meters from my car. I stopped immediately and, to our great astonishment, we then saw a large red disc, about six meters in diameter, take off vertically from a nearby field. The craft disappeared into the sky within seconds."
