A METAL WORKER OF QUAROUBLE TELLS US
(From our special envoy.)
"I saw a flying saucer and two of his passengers, told me Marius Dewilde, saw it with my eyes, like I see you. Do not believe me if you want, I will always maintain what I say. Feel free with you to doubt my mental faculties. But do not make me say that I saw Martians, that I do not know at all!
The man who tells me this is a young metallurgist of thirty-four years, known by all as a vigorous worker, perfectly calm and with the ideas well in place. The place of our conversation is Quarouble, a small industrial village of the area of the French border, located on the road of Valenciennes, a few kilometres from Quiévrain.
Le dessin malhabile du témoin. Dans le coin gauche, sa maison précédée d'une cour entourée de lattis. Les deux êtres (les deux points) se trouvaient à droite de la cour au momen où M. Dewilde les vit. La soucoupe était d'abord posée sur les rails représentés par les deux traits parallèles longent la maison. Elle s'éleva verticalement en dégageant de la fumée et disparut à l'horizon sous la forme d'une boule de feu. Dans le coin droit, un des passagers de l'engin. tel qu'il se présenta aux yeux du témoin.
The clumsy drawing of the witness. In the left corner, his house preceded by a court surrounded by lathing. The two beings (two spots) were on the right of the court when Mr. Dewilde saw them. The saucer was initially posed on the railway tracks represented by the two parallel lines skirting the house. It rose vertically while releasing smoke and disappeared at the horizon in the form from a ball of fire. In the right corner, one of the passengers of the machine such as it looked according to the witness.
