The article below was published in the daily newspaper Le Cri du Peuple, France, page 3, on October 24, 1954.
Martians are easygoing people, it's well known. In the Massif Central, they kiss the peasants.
Elsewhere, they cuddle the kids, courteously approach gatekeepers, talk in Javanese to old ladies walking around the countryside, or drop leaflets printed in Vietnamese (?)
All of this has been taught to us in great detail by a certain mass media.
And here is a distressing news reaching us: in the Nord, a farmer fired two hunting cartridges at his neighbor who was repairing a car in the light of his headlights... The neighbor had, during the night, a Martian head, and his car looked like a saucer. The shooter was aiming poorly. Fortunately. But finally, this is quite worrying.
The Martians are, until now, discreet people and good neighbors.
They don't look belligerent.
But their saucer may well contain terrible weapons.
So please, no provocation. Don't shoot the Martians.
