Finally, the "flying saucers" reported regularly for some time in Austria, according to the "Bild Telegraf" in Vienna, are guided missiles used to drop anti-communist leaflets over Czechoslovakia.
The newspaper reported that leaflets written in the Czech language were found near Efferding in Upper Austria (Soviet zone), after the passage of two "luminous discs", the changes of which were observed by two gendarmes of a locality neighbor. These leaflets, circulated by a group of emigrants belonging to the "Czechoslovak Opposition" movement, invite the peasants of Czechoslovakia to leave agricultural collectivities and state cooperatives.
Two other dailies also mention the testimony of several peasants who claim to have seen a "saucer" caught in the beam of a Soviet D.C.A. searchlight.
