A Large Red Disc Took Off Shortly After
Albi, October 12. -- A motorist from Briatexte (Tarn), Mr. Jean-Pierre Mitto, a technical agent for a company currently exhibiting at the "Arts Ménagers" fair in Toulouse, has claimed to have encountered the passengers of a flying saucer at dusk on National Road No. 631.
"Returning from Toulouse with two relatives," he said, "I suddenly spotted in my headlights two small figures crossing the road just a few meters from my car. I immediately stopped, 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."
