UFOs in the daily Press:

Mitry-Mory

"Fake Saucers"

In Mitry-le-Neuf, two workers from this town, wanting to gain attention, spread the story that they had seen a flying saucer at a standstill in the territory of Villepinte. They even claimed that the occupants of the so-called saucer had approached them cheerfully, gesturing for them to touch the saucer if they were skeptical and even offering, through gestures, to take them on a little trip.

To lend more credibility to their claim, the two workers sent a letter to the commissioner of Villeparisis. However, when questioned shortly afterward at the police station, they "backed down" and admitted they had made it all up to get attention...

They are now likely to gain attention much faster than they expected—but before a court, which will judge them for contempt of a magistrate.
