Angers, September 1st. -- From her window, last night at 8:20 p.m., Miss Claire Cordier, residing on rue Bressigny in Angers, clearly saw a brown disc in the sky, haloed with green glows and flying rapidly toward the north.
"A slight humming sound accompanied the phenomenon," stated Miss Cordier.
Saucers in conflict?
W. G. Kitchener, a real estate agent in Rye and an air observer during the Second World War, reported having seen, yesterday afternoon around 3:30 p.m., two "flying saucers" which, he estimated, crossed the sky from one horizon to the other in just four seconds at a speed of about 3,000 kilometers per hour.
The two aircraft, which had a bulbous shape, were flying from the southwest toward London.
"The two craft," said Mr. Kitchener, "seemed to be chasing each other."
