A LITTLE BOY, "CHASED" BY A "FLYING SAUCER," SEEKS REFUGE IN A FARM, TERRIFIED

MONTLUÇON. -- The gendarmes took the testimony of a farmer from Mesples, Mrs. Gentil, in whose house a 14-year-old schoolboy sought refuge yesterday morning, crying out:

- Come quickly, look! I'm scared, a flying saucer is chasing me.

Mrs. Gentil stepped outside her door and at first saw nothing. However, as she scanned the sky, she too spotted a disk "three times the size of the sun, tinged with red and purple.

The object spun rapidly on itself, then suddenly disappeared.

Young Jean-Pierre Coudray, residing in Saint-Palais (Allier), was riding his moped to his supplementary classes in Huriel when, according to his statements, around 8 a.m., he spotted a large disk facing the sun as he exited the village of Mesples. Suddenly, it started moving, rapidly approaching the ground.

The boy, intrigued, stopped to observe the phenomenon. The "saucer," unusually, was positioned vertically rather than horizontally. It appeared as a large silver-colored disk, glowing alternately red and violet, leaving a luminous trail in its wake.

Becoming increasingly uneasy, the young schoolboy then had the distinct impression that the object was diving toward him. Terrified, he jumped on his moped, turned around, and sped toward Mesples, where he rushed into the first farm he found.

In Italy, flying cigars and disks have appeared in eight locations across the Italian sky over the past twenty-four hours. "Flying objects" have been reported in Bolzano, Glorenza, Cortina d'Ampezzo, La Spezia, Verona, Perugia, Spoleto, and Naples.
