Firefighters, a veterinarian, and Orly Airport staff report a "saucer" sighting

Paris, 17th – A VETERINARIAN IN SEINE-INFERIEURE, THREE FIREFIGHTERS IN VIENNE, AND TWO EMPLOYEES OF ORLY AIRPORT SAW VARIOUS FLYING SAUCERS DURING THE NIGHT FROM SATURDAY TO SUNDAY. THE VETERINARIAN ALSO CLAIMED TO HAVE SEEN A "STRANGE CHARACTER" ABOUT 1.20 METERS TALL.

THESE TESTIMONIES DO NOT SEEM TO COME FROM PEOPLE PRONE TO HALLUCINATIONS – UNLESS THEY ARE SIMPLY MERRY PRANKSTERS.

At nightfall, while driving through the town of Baillolet on National Road 314, Mr. Henri Robert, a veterinary doctor from Londinières, saw four craft moving above one another at an altitude of about 300 meters. Mr. Robert claims that one of them zigzagged in front of his car, that he felt a strong electric shock, and that his car engine stopped. The veterinarian then saw a strange character standing on the road, about 1.20 meters tall. His car’s headlights went out; when they came back on, a cylindrical object, approximately 3 meters long, took off from the embankment and moved northward.

Mr. Robert reported his experience to the gendarmes in Londinières.

On Saturday evening, around 8:30 p.m., three firefighters - Captain Huguet, Lieutenant Doussineau, and Adjutant Serreau—saw a large disk rise into the sky in the direction of the Château de Targe, projecting sparks and leaving a very long luminous trail. They stopped their vehicle.

"The disk," they said, "passed over them, and they heard a whistling sound."

Two employees of Orly Airport, Mr. Raymond Castello and Mr. Charles Sirest, reported to the air police that they had seen a flying saucer cross the Orly sky from east to west at around 9:30 PM on Saturday night, moving at the speed of a jet aircraft. Upon reaching the commune of Paray-Vieille-Poste, at the edge of the east-west runway, the mysterious craft, which according to witnesses was flying at an altitude of 300 meters, remained stationary for about ten seconds while rotating on its axis.
