UFOs in the daily Press:

The "Meteor" Over Sweden Was Not a Robot Weapon ... But a Jet Plane

Stockholm. -- The "meteor of Bjuv," photographed on the night of Monday to Tuesday by a local resident, was merely a jet plane, according to the Swedish general staff, who examined the photo of the object. However, Professor Bertil Lindblad, attached to the Lund Observatory, after studying the pictures and their enlargements, had believed it to be a robot weapon.

Based on the direction taken by the object, it was speculated that it might have come from the shores of East Germany, where, according to some reports, the Russians are currently conducting rocket experiments.

Still More Saucers... On Land and in the Sky

Meanwhile, "flying saucers" continue to be reported in all corners of the French sky. Hardly a day passes without credible witnesses claiming to have seen "mysterious craft" of bizarre shapes, speeding silently through the air.

Near Perpignan, several grape harvesters reported seeing a shiny object in the sky shaped like a saucer. After moving vertically and leaving a white trail, the craft disappeared into the clouds.

On Wednesday, at dusk, a sailor at the helm of the "Port-Lyautey" saw, less than 500 meters away, a red saucer-shaped craft skim the surface of the water, then rapidly ascend vertically before vanishing, leaving behind a red flame.

In a field at the edge of a grove of poplars, a strange oval-shaped craft, about three meters in diameter and 2.5 meters in height, appeared to several road workers in Quincy-Voisins (Seine-et-Marne). It rested on the ground using three rather tall supports. Its upper section featured a small translucent dome, seemingly made of plastic. The entire object had a metallic sheen resembling aluminum.

One of the road workers, Mr. Goujon, recounted that he attempted to approach the craft, but upon reaching about 150 meters, he experienced tingling sensations as if an invisible electric beam was being directed at him.

"I felt," he said, "paralyzed, and my vision slightly blurred. I then saw the saucer rise very slowly, without making a sound, drifting like a 'falling leaf' up to 25 meters above the ground. It hovered briefly before suddenly vanishing at high speed, still without noise or any luminous trail." Deep marks about 10 centimeters in depth were found on the ground.

The "Cigar" Took Off With a Sharp Whistling Sound

Two bricklayers, Messrs. Romain Sébastiani and Buratto, both competitive cyclists from Roanne, saw a craft take off with a sharp whistling sound along the roadside in Blanzy, near Montceau. "The craft," they said, "was cigar-shaped, very dark yellow in color, about three meters long, and had a diameter of approximately 60 to 80 centimeters."

In Rixheim (Haut-Rhin), two residents equipped with binoculars observed the movements of a luminous cigar-shaped object, surrounded by a dozen smaller "cigars" of similar but smaller dimensions.

Two residents of the village of Foussignargues, near Bessèges, saw a bright red luminous object with vertical rods in a nearby field during the night from Sunday to Monday.

In Pau, on Thursday, numerous people saw a mysterious round and shiny balloon-like object at very high altitude in the sky. The craft came from the south and was heading northwest.

A "Star" Bigger Than the Others

The "star four times bigger than the others," which the captain of a cargo ship and two sailors observed with binoculars in the Bay of Biscay on the night of September 23, appeared as a moving disc with occasional green reflections.
