What a nice "chit-chat" ground for the Press in search of sensations...
But until proven guilty (and it hasn't been released yet) the flying saucers are just a myth, a big joke. They don't exist!
Certainly the popular imagination often more or less well balanced, multiplied by gossip and malice, this gives fertile results (in all areas).
Most recently, in the Somme department, two men had certified to have seen a flying saucer (which they had approached) land in a field (which they designated) where naturally no trace was found (the thatch was not even crushed).
The cases of individual or collective hallucinations are increasing. We give below a very recent relation (it comes, it is true, from a Mediterranean country where pranks and other jokes...):
The newspaper "Diario de Lisboa" (Portugal) reveals that like a French farmer who recently met a Martian came to earth aboard a mysterious craft, four Portuguese peasants had also just met visitors who had arrived from another world.
However, they did not kiss them.
"Seeing us," one of the witnesses reports, "they walked towards us and made a few sounds. Faced with our incomprehension, they invited us, by gestures, to get into their craft. But we refused".
It was on September 25, at 6:00 p.m., that these events occurred, to which we would like to be able to add here, at a point located in the Gardunha mountains, on the Spanish-Portuguese border.
A sphere appeared in the sky to the east, witnesses still say. It flew at breakneck speed and threw multicolored lightning flashes. It landed silently 200 meters from us and two figures about 2.50 meters tall got out. They looked like men of aluminum. They first gathered herbs and gathered stones which they placed in a box of blinding glare.
Editor's note. - So they refused to get on the craft! What a great missed opportunity to make a splendid trip.
The silhouettes were 2.50 meters tall. Previously they did not exceed 25 centimeters: they must have grown, like human stupidity.
