Oran, 27. -- Fishermen from Mostaganem noticed, yesterday evening, coming from the sea at great speed, a luminous spot similar to a meteor. The phenomenon did not take long to arrive at the port. The speed of the craft slowed down. Its shape recalled that of a giant ray [the fish], a flat body of circular shape with a wide and thin tail. The craft moved for a few moments at low altitude and at reduced speed, swinging softly and silently in the sky. Then, while the crowd contemplated these moves, the shape suddenly gained speed and disappeared towards the northeast, above the sea.
