Ussel, September 13. -- The gendarmes of the brigade of Bugeat, this morning, learning by the public rumour that a farmer of the hamlet of Mourieras, community of Bugeat (the Corrèze), Mr. Antoine Mazaud, had chatted with the passenger of a "flying saucer", went to the farmer in order to het a confirmation of this buzz.
Mr. Mazaud claimed tot them that on September 10, at 08:30 p.m., returning from his fields, he had met on a path, within 1500 meters of his dwelling, an unknown individual of average size, capped of a helmet without auricle who shook hands with him and embraced him while uttering inintelligibles words.
The man then went up into an apparatus in the shape of a cigar, nonenlightened, of a length from three to four meters which, taking off vertically, left in direction the west, not making more noise than a bee.
Mr. Mazaud then states that he had not wanted to speak about this story because he feared that one would laugh at him. He nevertheless entrusted the thing to his wife, who in her turn, shared it with neighborhood women, and thus the gendarmerie learned about it.
The lieutenant of the gendarmerie, commanding the squad, went on the location where no trace was found.
