BREST, November 6 (by phone). -- Three fishermen from the boat "L'Explorateur" of Moëlan-sur-Mer (Finistère) discovered a strange device floating on the water offshore last night.
It was a duralumin ring 1.5 meters in diameter, inside of which two crossbars intersected. Attached to the crossbars were two flashlights in perfect working order. Five large toy balloons (three red, one yellow, and one white) inflated with oxygen were tied to the ring with metal wires.
This saucer had fallen into the sea following the bursting of one of the balloons. The fishermen brought the device into the port of Brigneau.
The gendarmerie is trying to identify the creators of this saucer, which had been seen flying over the region.
