Jerusalem. -- The local Press reports that flying saucers were seen yesterday afternoon, moving in the skies of Jericho and Ramallah. The craft, two in number, appeared to come from the north and quickly disappeared towards the south after flying over the two localities. The press adds that they are silver craft and that the population was able to observe them without risk of error. On the other hand, a whitish body of spheroidal shape was seen at about 1,500 meters in the sky of Piacenza (Italy).
