VIENNA, October 13. - Mr. Harald Kreutzberg, the Austrian "Serge Lifar", living in Seefeld, in Tyrol, observed, while he was in his garden, a flying saucer which flew over the small locality for a few seconds before heading towards the North and disappearing behind the mountains.
Some residents of Seefeld also observed the phenomenon and tried in vain to photograph the mysterious craft.
CHATEAUBRRIANT, October 13. -- A 13-year-old boy, little Gilbert Lelay, claims to have seen last night, around 10:30 p.m., a mysterious craft in a meadow, some 600 meters from his parents' home, in the village of Sainte-Marie-en-Erblay, near Châteaubriant.
The child declares that he stayed ten minutes to observe, about ten meters away, this machine which had the shape of a phosphorescent cigar. A passenger, a man in a suit and a gray hat, wearing boots, reportedly told him in French: "Look, but don't touch." He put a hand on his shoulder while with the other, he held a ball launching purple fires. He got into the craft through a door which he slammed. On what could be a dashboard were several multicolored buttons.
Still according to the child, the craft rose slowly vertically, launching fires in all directions, made two turns in the air and suddenly disappeared.
