Lisieux, 19. -- Several people were running through the fields in Moyeux, in the direction of a flying saucer, surrounded by smoke and black white, which had been reported to them by a child.

Paris. -- The only new testimonies on the overflight of France by mysterious craft come from the West.
In the Côtes-du-Nord, at Uzel, Mr. and Mrs. Perrichon stated having seen an orange flying saucer. The same fact was observed in several neighboring municipalities.
In the Vendée, in Pont-l'Abbé-d'Arnoult, a mysterious craft which rose vertically behind a hedge, was seen by Mr. Meunier, site manager in a masonry company.
Finally, in Luçon, Mr. Boulineau observed a large luminous ball of which a crescent-shaped part was red in color. The ball moved rapidly spinning on itself and disappeared in a few seconds.
