A northerner reportedly saw
two passengers
of a flying saucer

In the sky of the Somme and the Pyrénées, flying saucers have been seen recently. Mr. Marius Dewilve [sic], a workshop worker in northern France, saw not only a flying saucer, but its passengers.

He said that on Friday night, around 10 p.m., his attention was aroused by the barking of his dog.

He went out immediately, armed with his flashlight, and saw on the railway tracks along his house, in a particularly deserted place, a dark mass, oval in shape, which could have been six meters long and three meters high.

Shining his flashlight in another direction, Mr. Dewilve saw two odd, stocky men, no more than three feet tall, walking quickly towards the craft. These men had short heads on which the rays of his lamp would reflect as if they were glass globes.

Moments later, a square of intense light appeared on the sides of the craft. The witness would then have closed his eyes and when he opened them again, the light and the beings had disappeared.

The craft, swaying slightly, rose vertically, emitting smoke. Arrived at ten meters of the ground, the lower part of the craft reddened, and it disappeared quickly.
