According to the latest reports of witnesses who came yesterday to enlarge, in a way that has become usual, the "flying saucers" file, these are:
- 1. Phosphorescent and piloted by tiny beings who plant mysterious seeds on earth;
- 2. Four-meter torpedoes containing hairy beings;
- 3. Luminous spheres from which small space divers descend;
- 4. Craft capable of 300,000 kilometers per second and piloted by intelligent plants monitoring the progress of humanity.
It is several hunters from the commune of Saint-Ambroix, in the Gard, who advance the theory of the mysterious planters. The hunters told reporters that they recently saw seven tiny beings "vaguely shaped like a human body."
When the hunters tried to approach these beings, they say, they rushed towards a phosphorescent craft; which flew away.
The hunters do not specify the shape of the craft; they affirm, on the other hand, that they discovered, at the place of the take off of the latter, a certain number of seeds of strange aspect, which they made examine by seedmen. These found it impossible to classify them in a known species.
It is with a "mysterious hairy individual" emerging from a torpedo that an employee of the station of Montluçon, Mr. Laugère, made, he said, a weird encounter, Sunday evening.
Mr. Laugère specified that he was leaving his workplace and crossing the tracks near the S.N.C.F. bridge, when he saw, he declared, a metal craft posed at a short distance from a diesel tank intended for the supply of railcars. Beside the apparatus, which had the shape of a torpedo and could have been four meters long, was, added Mr. Laugère, a man all covered with hair "unless he was dressed in a coat with rather long hair."
Surprised I asked him what he was doing but he answered me in intelligible terms where it seems to me to distinguish however the words "gas oil", stated in substance the railwayman.
A small-sized diver, with a large head in relation to the body, two huge eyes. This is the description given the day before last night by a Toulouse resident, Mr. Olivier, of a mysterious character descended, he says, towards 7:35 p.m., from a spherical craft which had just landed on a vacant lot.
Mr. Olivier, an industrialist, was, he said, accompanied by an employee, Mr. Perano, and a young boy of about fifteen when the craft, luminous and reddish in color, landed. The witnesses then saw, they say, come towards them the character whose diving-suit shone like glass.
Finally, for the scientist Hermann Oberth, builder of the infamous "V-2", "saucer pilots are plants endowed with reason."
According to Oberth, who exposed this theory the day before yesterday to an A.F.P. correspondent, the "Uranids" - the name with which he baptized these plants - are thousands of years ahead of Earthmen both in regarding their spiritual evolution than their technique.
The "Uranids", says Oberth, move in "saucers" capable of reaching a speed close to that of light: 300,000 kilometers per second.
They fly over the earth, concludes the scientist, to monitor the progress of humanity in the atomic sciences because these advances "represent, he says, a danger for the whole cosmos."
