"Flying Saucers" Over Le Mans?

A resident of Le Mans, who was at his window early yesterday morning, claims to have seen in the sky, at an altitude of approximately 800 to 1,000 meters, two strange objects heading west.

Gray-green in color, these objects, according to the witness, had a slightly oval and flat shape with a series of darker spots around their edges. They were moving at a speed significantly greater than that of modern fighter jets. No engine sound was heard.

Only a trail of smoke remained for a few moments after their passage. Then, the objects quickly disappeared into the low clouds.

TWO OBJECTS DISCOVERED IN THE U.S.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., the federal investigation bureau announced that a "flying saucer" was found in the state of Idaho. It is said to have a diameter of 77 cm and resembles a pair of cymbals placed against each other.

Another saucer is reported to have been found in Wisconsin, appearing like two bowls attached together. A radio tube was reportedly found inside. It is believed that this component may serve as the propulsion system for the object.
