PERPIGNAN, France (INS) -- A retired French customs official reported today that he saw a flying saucer land and a tall man dressed in "a diver's suit" step out. Agence France Presse said Damien Sigueres, 56, described the "saucer" as a large red sphere. He added that the occupant jumped back into his craft and took off rapidly, but noiselessly, when he saw Sigueres's two dogs.
