During one night last summer, a certain Mr. Faisant, from S... in the Aisne, went on a saucer hunt... and shot one three times.
Immediately the orange glow he had seen went out. Hit! M. Faisant thought. But vociferations arose... The driver of a tractor whose headlights had just been broken by the gunshots said emphatically who was not a "Martian."
Peacefully grazing cows were also victims of this error!
Let us add that the criminal court did not miss the unfortunate hunter.
