UFOs in the daily Press:

Is it the product of their imagination?

Two men claim
to have seen a flying saucer
in a field, near Amiens

Amiens. -- A mason, Mr. Emile Renard, 27, and his worker, Mr. Yves De Gillebez, 23, claim to have seen in a field, about 200 meters from the road, near Acheux-en-Amiénois, a craft resembling a truncated haystack on top of which a kind of large inverted plate seemed to have been placed.

The two men, who were traveling by bicycle, stated that they then jumped off their bikes and ran toward the craft, which, they say, was gray in color and approximately ten meters in diameter. It was oscillating slightly, and on its surface one could make out a sort of closed door. The device emitted no sound.

Still according to the account of Messrs. Renard and De Gillebez, the craft took off when they had already covered about fifty meters, with smoke escaping from a kind of pipe located on its lower part. After an oblique flight of about fifteen meters, the device rose vertically and disappeared.

The two men were questioned at the gendarmerie of Acheux-en-Amiénois, then taken to the place where they claimed to have seen the craft. No trace was found on the ground.
