Jerusalem, April 7. -- The local press reported this morning that flying saucers were seen yesterday afternoon, moving in the skies of Jericho and Ramallah.
These craft, two in number, appeared to come from the north and disappeared rapidly towards the south, after having flown over these two localities.
The press adds that these are silvery craft that the population was able to observe without any risk of error.
A whitish body of spheroidal shape was seen at about 1300 m in the sky of Piacenza, in Italy, by reliable persons. After standing still for a few moments, the craft disappeared into space with great speed.
