Amiens, 17. - The flying saucer at Estrées-Deniécourt, near Amiens, was just a joke by a few electricians from a company in the city who admitted that they wanted to have fun at the expense of the press and the gendarmerie.
Minutes were written up for contempt of court and a report was sent to the public prosecutor of Amiens.
