UFOs in the daily Press:

A Lyon resident claims: "I saw a flying saucer over my garden"

LYON, August 31 (Disp. "France-Soir"). -- A cigar-shaped flying saucer was seen last night in Lyon by Mr. Henri Tardy. He was taking a digestive walk in his garden around 8:15 p.m. He had stopped to admire the twinkling lights on the Lyonese hills when he saw an elongated object, like a short, thick cigar, moving from east to west. The object had a blue-green hue, and from its rear end came a shower of sparks.

The sighting was very brief and disappeared within seconds in the direction of the Mont Verdun lighthouse, which guides aviators over the Lyon region.

Mr. Tardy cannot say how far away the flying saucer was, but he specifies:

- I was not the victim of a hallucination. Nor was I influenced by reading articles about flying saucers.

At last, a real (fake) flying saucer was seen

DARMSTADT, August 31 (Reuter). The Darmstadt police is finally in possession of the first authentic report of a flying saucer. It was a wooden disc suspended from balloons and lit up with light bulbs.

A passing motorist managed to identify the flying saucer for what it was by shining his headlights on it.

The police suspects it is the work of a prankster.
