The United States, facing the
biggest mystery in the in the world

A "flying saucer"
falls into he hands of
the Americans

Washington, July 8. -- Since a dozen days, luminous projectiles furrow the sky of the United States. The American authorities hardly took the thing seriously. However they have just decided to cast some light on the affair. Thus, the ministry for the Air announces that officers investigate into the "mystery of the flying discs."

According to eyewitnesses, these projectiles - or meteors - appear suddenly in the sky, at more than 1000 kilomèters per hour, tracing an oblique trajectory, then disappearing suddenly.

But we shall soon know what this is all about: because the 509e bomber group has indeed just announced that they managed to get hold of a "flying saucer".

Are these "flying discs" an American exclusivity? No, because we have just learned that in Canada, in Denmark, in the Balearic Islands and in Australia, these machines are said to have been seen in the blue skies.
