UFOs in the daily Press:

ACCORDING TO RELIABLE WITNESSES

FLYING SAUCERS
continue to crisscross
THE SKY OF FRANCE

THE SARTHE WEATHER SERVICE
observes a strange phenomenon:
"Two bright dark-red lights at the zenith"

(From our special correspondent)

LE MANS (by telephone). -- At 6:08 yesterday morning, a technician from the Le Mans-Arnage weather station officially recorded the presence at the zenith of two strong dark-red lights: they were at a very high altitude, moving without any sound; no smoke was visible.

The observation was made several times in a very clear sky. An official report was drawn up by the observer and the information transmitted to Paris, which in turn alerted all stations. The same phenomenon is said to have been recorded in the Yonne.

- We saw an unknown phenomenon, the weather technician told us. It was neither an aircraft, nor a weather balloon, nor a meteor. We draw no conclusions about the phenomena we observed. It will be up to the scientists to decide.

IN EPINAC-LES-MINES (Saône-et-Loire), several residents declared that they saw a large luminous ball moving at high altitude, which disappeared in the direction of Le Creusot.

IN CHATEAU-CHINON (Nièvre), an illuminated flying saucer crossed the sky according to the testimony of five people of unquestionable seriousness. It split in two, and each disc thus formed began spinning rapidly, then everything went dark.

IN BOURG, Mrs. Gisèle Fleujean and her granddaughter saw a luminous disc motionless in the sky. It was reddish in color.

IN LYON, a resident observed through binoculars, above the hill of Sainte-Foy, a bright orange-red luminous disc. This was followed by other, smaller shining discs. The phenomenon lasted about twenty minutes.

FLYING SAUCERS (?)
in the Paris sky

Yesterday, around 4:30 p.m., several Parisians saw strange "objects" moving in the capital’s sky, which they immediately labeled "flying saucers."

One of them, Mr. Pierre Allouis, while riding in a taxi, heard a "piercing whistle." He looked up at the sky and saw a "flying craft fleeing, leaving a plume of smoke."

Mr. Allouis described the saucer as "a disc larger than a normal airplane" and silver in color.

Messrs. Gilbert Bacon, of 25 Faubourg Saint-Antoine, and Paul Julien, a house painter at 3 Rue de la Pompe, confirmed this phenomenon. But Mr. Julien believes it was more likely a flying wing of triangular shape.

At the Le Bourget control tower, no phenomenon was observed on radar that could corroborate these statements...
