Lille, 8. -- This morning, around 4 o'clock, the weather station at Lille-Lesquin aerodrome was informed by the Bourget control tower that a "flying saucer" had just been seen passing over Parisian skies, heading towards Lille, leaving behind a double luminous trail.
At Lesquin aerodrome, the service officers immediately went out and actually noted the presence of two luminous trails in the sky beyond Lille and heading towards Belgium.
