Toulouse, 14. -- A diver of small size and, with a large head relative to the body, two enormous eyes, such is the description just made by a Toulouse resident, Mr. Olivier, of a mysterious character, descended from a spherical craft which had just landed on a vacant lot.
Mr. Olivier, owner of the Javel-Meto establishments, rue des Fontaines, in Toulouse, was accompanied by an employee, Mr. Perano, and a young boy of about fifteen. All three saw the luminous craft land, spherical in shape and reddish in color. Then they saw a figure approaching them whose spacesuit, according to witnesses, shone like glass.
Subsequently, Mr. Olivier, a former aviation pilot, drew in chalk, in a striking manner, on a door, the diver.
"I couldn't believe it," added Mr. Perano, "but I saw him as I see you. It comes as a shock."
After a very short time, about a minute, the diver regained the luminous sphere which flew off vertically, silently and disappeared in the sky at a prodigious speed, leaving a trail of fire.
Oily traces were noted this morning in several places of the vacant lot, located in a suburb of Toulouse.
According to the statements of three witnesses, the mysterious craft, piloted by a character dressed in a diving suit, would have landed on this ground yesterday, at 7:25 p.m.
The Air Police questioned these three people, who maintained their statement by specifying that the mysterious individual, measuring approximately 1.20 meters, protruded from the head and therefore had to bend to enter.
One of the witnesses assured that the saucer was surrounded by iridescent reflections and emitted a light mist around it. He added that having wanted to approach, he had been held back at about twenty meters by a paralyzing force and that, when the craft rose in the sky, he was violently thrown to the ground.

Nīmes. -- Several hunters from the town of Saint-Ambroix (Gard) have recently seen seven tiny beings whose shape vaguely recalled that of a human body . When they tried to approach the beings rushed towards a phosphorescent craft which flew away immediately.
At the location of the flying saucer pilots, the hunters discovered a number of odd-looking seeds on the ground, which they had examined by seedmen. These were unable to classify them in a known species.
Hamburg. -- "The pilots of the "flying saucers" are plants endowed with reason" - such is the theory that exposed to a correspondent of Agence France Presse Professor Hermann Oberth, inventor and manufacturer of the famous V-2 rocket.
According to the German scientist, the "Uranids" (such is the name with which he baptizes these plants) are thousands of years ahead of Earthmen, both in terms of their spiritual development and their technique. The homeland of the "Uranids" would be a planet where there is no oxygen in the gaseous state, which prohibits the development of animal life. Plants, on the other hand, get the oxygen they need from the oxides in the soil.
The planet in question would be outside the solar system [...] of that of light (300,000 kms per second).
Those of these craft seen above the earth would be tasked with monitoring the progress of Earth mankind in atomic sciences because such progress "represents a danger to the entire cosmos".
