NEAR CHAUNY

MISTAKING HIS NEIGHBOR
FOR A MARTIAN,
HE SHOOTS TWICE
AT HIM

Mr. Maurice Ruant, a farmer in Sinceny, near Chauny (Aisne), almost fell victim to the panic caused to some by the appearance of saucers or other flying objects. He was busy repairing his car in a meadow near his home when two shots were fired in his direction. The pellets crashed onto the vehicle body, not far from his head. Mr. Maurice Ruant complained and the investigation immediately opened made it possible to quickly find the author of the two shots, who was a neighbor of Mr. Ruant, Mr. Faisan. The latter said to the police:

"I thought, seeing a silhouette moving in the light of two headlights, to be in the presence of a Martian repairing his flying saucer. I went to get my sotgun and I fired."

Despite his good faith, Mr. Faisant will be prosecuted.
