The "flying saucers" made a victim the other night in the person of Mr. Neyret, farmer in Tain-l'Hermitage (Drôme), whom his neighbor had mistaken for a "Martian".

Neyret who had a torn off ear and found himself obliged to consult a doctor. This unfortunate farmer certainly did not see a "flying saucer" but rather "thirty-six candles."
