Saucers are no longer happy to appear and disappear. They also abandon, on takeoff, suspicious traces that intrigue the official investigators.
In Toulouse, Mr. Olivier, industrialist, accompanied by an employee, Mr. Perano, and a fifteen years old young boy, saw, Wednesday evening, a luminous machine, of spherical shape and reddish color, land. Then they saw a small scuba diver with a disproportionate head with huge eyes coming towards them.
Subsequently, Mr. Olivier, a former pilot, drew with chalk, in a striking manner, on a door, the diver. "I didn't believe in it," added Mr. Pernao, "but I saw it as I see you. It is quite a shock."
The diver returned to the luminous sphere, which flew off vertically, silently, and disappeared into the sky at a prodigious pace, leaving a trail of fire.
Yesterday morning, oily traces were found in several places.
The air police questioned the three witnesses, who maintained their statements and clarified that the mysterious individual, measuring approximately 1.20, was one hed higher than the craft.
One of them even added that having wanted to approach, he had been stopped at twenty meters by a paralyzing force and that, when the spacecraft rose in the sky, he had been violently thrown to the ground.
Several hunters from the town of Saint-Ambroix (Gard), reportedly saw seven tiny beings who rushed towards a phosphorescent craft, which took off when they approached.
Near the landing site were seeds of an unknown species.
According to Professor Hermann Oberth, inventor and builder of the famous "V-2" rocket, the pilots of the "flying saucers" are plants endowed with reason and which would be thousands of years ahead of the Earth, both in terms of their spiritual development and their technique. Their homeland of origin would be a planet where there is no oxygen in the gaseous state, which prohibits the development of animal life. But plants, on the other hand, get the oxygen they need from the oxides in the soil.
This planet would be outside the solar system. The mysterious craft, in which intelligent plants travel, could move at a speed close to that of light (300,000 kilometers per second).
They would be responsible for monitoring the progress of mankind in the atomic sciences, because this progress "represents a danger to the whole cosmos."
