Seattle, July 5. -- For a few weeks, many people have claimed to have seen flying, at a speed that some evaluate as 2000 km/h, flat objects in the shape of "saucers."
The aviation, the army and the navy, alerted, made an investigation which result is negative. Perhaps for the first time a clue will make it possible to elucidate the mystery: a coast-guard of Seattle claims to have photographed one of these objects. However, discs continue to be reported a little everywhere above the American territory.
