THE HAGUE. -- A flying saucer coming from Belgium landed in Limmel, near Maastricht, in Limburg, during the night.
It is a small, unmanned saucer about 80 centimeters in diameter, bearing a license plate: "3 R-X Mars," and its structure is of such ingenious simplicity that it would put the experts to shame.
It consists, in fact, of a wicker ring covered with silver paper and kept aloft by four large children’s balloons. In a sort of gondola attached to the wicker ring, a Belgian-made flashlight illuminates the saucer, giving this contraption an unsettling appearance at night.
