FLYING SAUCERS IN THE 1954 FRENCH PRESS:

The article below was published in the daily newspaper Var-Matin - République, Toulon, France, October 1st, 1954.

Flying saucers said to drop anticommunists leaflets above Czechoslovakia

Vienna, September 30. -- Flying saucers seen regularly for some time in Austria would be, according to the "Bibl télégraph", guided craft used by certain powers to release anticommunist leaflets above Czechoslovakia.

This newspaper reports indeed, that leaflets written in Czech language were found close to Eferding into High Austria (Soviet zone) after the passage of two "luminous discs" whose evolutions were observed by two gendarmes of a close locality. These leaflets diffused by a group of emigrants belonging to the movement "Czechoslovakian opposition" invite the peasants of Czechoslovakia to leave the agricultural communities and the State co-operatives.

Several daily newspapers also mention the testimony of several peasants who state they saw a "flying saucer" catch in the beam of a projector of the Soviet anti-aircraft defense.
