UFOs in the daily Press:

New "Witnesses"

FROM MULHOUSE:

Mr. René Ott, 35, from Jettingen, an employee of the S.N.C.F, claimed to have seen in a field, while on his way to work, a half-spherical aluminum-colored dome, lit from the inside, located about three meters from the road and one meter above the ground.

But the gendarmes found no trace.

The Martians must have forgotten the other half of the sphere along with the landing gear. Absent-minded folks.

FROM LE MANS:

Mr. Alexandre Tremblaix, a milk collector stated that the truck he was driving suddenly stopped for an unknown reason, the day before yesterday morning, on a small departmental road near Saint-Jean-d'Assé, and that the headlights went out. He got out of the cab and saw a flying cigar, luminous, red and blue, about a meter long, pass overhead. The object disappeared over the horizon a few minutes later, the engine started again, and the headlights came back on.

Enough to make you want a smoke!

FROM CHERBOURG:

Thursday evening around 9 p.m., a resident of Octeville (Manche), Mr. Maurice Crestey, a draftsman at the arsenal, and several of his neighbors saw a luminous sphere in the sky at fairly high altitude which, after hovering over the city, disappeared toward the south.

Not the chatty type, those ones!

FROM CHATEAUROUX:

Mr. Alfred Rahany, 62, resident of Chasseneuil, who had stopped at the side of the road, heard a whistling sound: looking up, he saw a gray-colored object hovering about 100 meters above the ground. The object took off again at very high speed, leaving behind a kind of mist.

Probably to discourage onlookers.

FROM QUIMPER:

Mr. François Cariou, a traveling fishmonger from Plozévet (Finistère), his wife, and two daughters saw in the sky a bright glow that seemed surrounded by dense smoke. This glow, initially motionless, moved toward them at an altitude of about ten meters; it appeared to be an orange sphere.

Frightened, the Cariou family went back inside the house.

Several fishermen who were preparing to head out to sea at the same time confirmed the report.

Ten meters? Good grief! It doesn't say whether the Cariou house was scorched.
