UFOs in the daily Press:

And here is the secret weapon of the "Martians":
the light blue beam...

Guéret. -- A farmer of the village of Vaureille, Mr. Aimé Bousard, 47 years old, told to the gendarmes of Aubusson "the strange encounter" he made Tuesday evening while returning from the village of Alleyrat (the Creuse).

"At the locality "La Madière", he said, I saw a form which was moving on the side of the road. I stopped for better observing the individual. The latter, who was bent down, suddenly stood up, directing on me two powerful lamps projecting a very dense light blue light. He also had, on each side of the head, a lamp of light green color which emitted rays much weaker than the others. It appeared 1 m 60 tall and I believed initially that he was dressed of a diving-suit.

"Suddenly, under the effect of a pressure comparable to a blow I was thrown on the other side of the road where I remained ten minutes without being able to shout or call for help. The light blue lamps remained directed on me. They died out finally. The being crossed the road and disaperared suddenly. I felt and I still feel pains in the legs at the right hand [sic]."

At the place indicated by the farmer, the gendarmes noted that the ground had been freshly stirred up. The grass had been torn off on a surface of 70 centimetres in diameter. No footsteps trace were found.
