Besançon, 28. - Mr. Francesco Beuc, 48, agricultural worker in Orchamps-Vennes (Doubs) declared that on October 12, he had seen a flying saucer, but that, in fear of not being believed, he had, until now, been silent.
A fortnight ago, around 9:00 p.m., Mr. Beuc returned to the farm where he works when he suddenly saw, motionless on the side of the road, a craft having particularly the shape of a 4 CV, supported by four wheels about 30 centimeters in diameter.
The cultivator approached within one meter of the craft and noticed, nearby, a being, 1.50 meters tall, dressed in leather and wearing a cap. Mr. Beuc having called the mysterious pilot, the latter quickly climbed into the craft, which, after having rolled for about thirty meters on the road, took off like an airplane and quickly went away.
