UFOs in the daily Press:

Bad Days for the "Saucerists"

Unfortunate days for the "saucerists" - the reports that seemed the most credible regarding the appearance of celestial craft have proven to be unfounded in recent days. After the statement published by the military authorities in Metz, the most ardent believers in the Uranides refuse to give up, of course, and are trying to revive the investigation, but their ranks, as a fellow journalist from Lorraine told us yesterday, have thinned out.

Yesterday, another piece of news that at first appeared to be very serious was denied just a few hours later.

Here are the facts:

In the early afternoon, at 1:30 p.m., the population of Fontaine de Vaucluse was in turmoil.

Indeed, a "white disc" was slowly hovering over the small town, clearly visible with good binoculars.

This white disc was topped with a spherical dome of the same color.

The lower circular edge intermittently displayed two powerful lights, shifting from white to violet, passing through red. The airbase in Orange (Vaucluse) was alerted and immediately dispatched two jet planes, which soon appeared. After making two turns over Fontaine de Vaucluse, they gained altitude and dove toward the "disc"—at least, that is what "well-informed" individuals reported. Some even claimed that the radio onboard the planes, in communication with the base, announced that the craft was in sight, was being pursued, but was escaping because its speed was superior. From Vaucluse, people could clearly see the disc darting away, pursued by the two jet planes.

However, a few hours later, the State Secretariat for the Armed Forces (Air) clarified that the two pilots from the Orange airbase, who had flown over Fontaine de Vaucluse at different altitudes, had not observed any unknown craft during their search.

The two pilots are experienced officers, and their report is definitive.

Yesterday, we recounted the strange landing of a diver-suited figure and his machine on a vacant lot in Toulouse. Our photos show: At the top, the witnesses reproducing the silhouette of the nocturnal visitor on a fence. At the bottom, a lovely Martian photographed by a lucky witness. No! Just the latest fashion in ski attire.
