UFOs in the daily Press:

Still the flying saucer problem

Did "Martians" land on the French soil?

Following the information that we recently published about the two passengers of a flying saucer, we learned today the following details:

Three inspectors of the air police returned to Quarouble (Nord) to hear Mr. Marius Dewilde, the man who "saw" two Martians at the garden gate.

They left the village convinced that on the night of Friday to Saturday, a mysterious flying object has landed, as stated by Mr. Dewilde, on the railway Saint-Amand - White-Misseron near the crossing 79 .

The findings they made could, indeed, confirm the testimony of the metal worker. The latter said that on Friday at 10:30 p.m. he saw an oblong craft, 3 meters tall, 6 meters long, posed on the track, a few meters from his house. Two beings of human appearance, very small and, apparently, wearing diving suits, were nearby. Mr. Dewilde walked toward them, but at that time, the craft ptojected on him a beam of green light reflection, which had the effect of paralyzing him. When he had the use of his limbs again, the machine began to rise in the sky and the two beings had disappeared.

Investigators found no trace of the existence of these two characters. The surrounding ground, examined meter by meter, did not show footprints.

On the other hand, one of the crossbeams showed signs that were made by a machine at the time of landing. In five places the wood of the crossbeam is tapped over approximately four square centimeters surface. These marks all have the same appearance and are arranged in a symmetrical manner, on the same line: three of them - those in the middle - are separated by a gap of 43 centimeters. The last two are distant from the others by 67 centimeters.

Martians in France!

A machine which would land on crutches and not on wheels like our planes would not leave different traces, stated one of the air police inspectors.

The report Mr. Dewilde made also finds confirmation by testimonies of several residents of the area. In Onnaing, a young man, Mr. Edmond Auverlot, and a pensioner, Mr. Hublard, saw, at approximately 10:30 p.m., the hour indicated by Mr. Dewilde, a red gleam moving in the sky. The same gleam was seen from Vicq by three young people who were leaving a ball.

All these testimonies, these facts, give to the account of Mr. Dewilde a color of authenticity. However, many people remain skeptical. Mr. Dewilde is undoubtedly of good faith; but one year ago he was victim of a serious industrial accident (cranial traumatism), in the continuation of which he showed some nervous disorders. So one thinks he might have been the victim of "waked up hallucinations", well-known phenomenon in medicine.
