A large scorched grass circle marks the place where two residents of Hyères saw a saucer land

Toulon (A.F.P.)

Since fourty-eight hours, two residents of Toulon, Misters Rappelini, bar owner, and Ottaviani, mechanic of the merchant navy, claim to have seen, Thursday evening, a "saucer" land in the district of Chemin-Long, near Hyères and give an absolutely identical description of it.

The Brigade of the Air of the General Intelligence went to Toulon and lengthily heard the two witnesses, who traced a detailed sketch of the mysterious machine.

Yesterday morning, the inspectors of the General Intelligence went on the spot where the two witnesses state to have seen the "saucer" land. They found a large circular trace there where the grass is burned.
