UFOs in the daily Press:

Missed attack
against a false Martian

Mr. Maurice Ruant, farmer in Sinceny, near Chauny (Aisne) almost fell victim to the panic that is caused to some people by the appearance of saucers or other flying objects. Friday evening, he was busy repairing his car, in a meadow near his home, when two shots from a hunting rifle were fired in his direction. The pellets crashed onto the vehicle body, not far from his head. Mr. Maurice Ruant complained and the investigation immediately opened made it possible to quickly find the author of the two shots, who was a neighbor of Mr. Ruant, Mr. Faisan. The latter told the police:

"I thought, seeing a silhouette moving in the light of the headlights, to be in the presence of a Martian repairing his flying saucer. I went to get my rifle and I opened fire."

Despite his good faith, Mr. Faisan will be prosecuted.
