The Hague, November 1st. -- A flying saucer coming from Belgium landed in Limmel, near Maastricht, in Limburg, during the night.
It is a small unmanned saucer about 80 centimeters in diameter, bearing a license plate: "3X-R Mars" and whose structure is of a brilliant simplicity, enough to embarrass the experts.
It consists, in fact, of a wicker ring covered with silver paper and kept aloft by four large children's balloons. In a sort of gondola attached to the wicker ring, a Belgian-made flashlight illuminates the saucer, giving the device a frightening appearance at night.
