Martians have landed in France; some in Corrèze, others in Quarouble (Nord). But while the first made the unfortunate earthlings who came to greet them fell asleep, with a stroke of a green ray, the second pushed kindness to kiss them on the forehead.
These are the incredible nonsense published by our "big" daily colleagues. They testify more to the taste for hoaxing dear to some than to the respect of the reader.
But there is more!
Air Force police have been investigating in Quarouble (Nord) following statements by the "witness".
They engaged in long investigations, they analyzed the stones allegedly burned by the passage of the saucer piloted by the Martians, measuring AT THE CENTIMETER the traces of crutches supporting, according to the narrator, the interstellar craft.
Let's be serious.
