The Hague, 1st. - A flying saucer coming from Belgium landed in Limmel, near Maastricht, in Limburg, during the past night.
It is a small, unmanned saucer about 80 cm in diameter, bearing a registration plate marked "3 R-X Mars," with a brilliantly simple structure that could put experts to shame.
Indeed, it consists of a wicker ring covered with silver paper, kept aloft by four large children's balloons. In a sort of gondola attached to the wicker ring, a Belgian-made flashlight illuminates the saucer.
