Rome. -- Three saucers heading toward St. Peter's were seen by several people in a neighborhood in the west of the city. After stopping for a moment in the sky, the three luminous bodies disappeared in a direction opposite to the one they had followed until then. Among the people who witnessed this apparition was a radio reporter who confirmed to the newspaper "El Tempo" that the three saucers were flying at a very high speed.
