Amiens, September 8. -- Mr. Emile Renard, 27, and his worker, Mr. Yves de Gillabez, 23, claim to have seen in a field, about 200 meters from the road near Acheux-en-Amiénois, a craft resembling a truncated haystack with a kind of large upside-down plate placed on top.
The two men, who were riding bicycles, said they jumped off and ran toward the craft, which they described as gray in color and roughly ten meters in diameter. It was slightly oscillating, and on its side, a kind of closed door was visible. The craft made no sound.
Still according to Mr. Renard and Mr. Gillabez, the object took off when they had already covered about fifty meters. Smoke came out of a kind of pipe located on its underside. After flying obliquely for about fifteen meters, the object rose vertically and disappeared.
The two men were taken to the spot where they claimed to have seen the object. No traces were found on the ground.
