Toulouse, October 12. - Two inhabitants of the Toulouse suburbs, MM. Pierre Vidal and his nephew Angel Hurlé, managed to see this morning, at dawn, barely a hundred meters from their house, a giant rocket which, departing from a field, quickly disappeared in the sky generating a clarity of a rare intensity.
The two men then went to the place where they located the starting point of the mysterious object. There they found that the grass had been packed on a circular surface of 5 meters in diameter. In the center of this area, they discovered in the ground, four prints appearing to have been left by the feet of a heavy craft.
The grass was covered with droplets from the condensation of fatty vapor and which smelled of petroleum.
The police went to the scene.
