Here are the flying saucers in the sky of Paris. Several testimonies agree.
Passers-by claimed to have seen one yesterday at around 4:30 p.m., near the Porte Dorée.
Mr. Pierre Allouis, cardboard representative, was going to his business by taxi, when the vehicle was stopped by a red light. Hearing, he said, a shrill whistling sound, he looked out the door and saw a flying craft that was leaking high up, leaving a plume of smoke in its wake.
Mr. Allouis describes the saucer as a disk larger than a normal plane and silver in color.
The same testimony is provided by Mr. Gilbert Bacon, 25, Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, and by Mr. Paul Julien, house painter, who lives at 3, rue de la Pompe. The latter, however, believes that it is not a saucer, but a flying wing that takes the shape of a triangle with rounded edges.
