"Flying saucers" continue to crisscross the sky. Some land, and their occupants attempt to make contact with humans... Thus Mr. Angelo Girardeau, residing in Breuil-Chaussée (Deux-Sèvres), stated that yesterday morning he saw a circular craft near which there was a being who appeared to him to be dressed in a sort of diving suit. The being in question walked toward Mr. Girardeau, who, frightened, ran away. Shortly afterward, the circular craft departed again at very high speed.
Two young men from Vron (Somme) also claim to have seen on the national road, between Crécy and Ligescourt, a curious craft around which individuals of bizarre shape were prowling. They approached the craft, which they say resembled a millstone, but it took off.
The two young men recounted their adventure to the gendarmes.
In Vic-sur-Cère, several people stated that they saw, heading south, a craft shaped like a cigar and giving off a slight plume of smoke.
In the Nièvre, a representative of an insurance company from Clamecy as well as several residents of Corbigny stated that they saw a luminous orange-colored disc which, after changing altitude several times, disappeared vertically.
A resident of Bourg-du-Cerisier, in Indre, Mrs. Janiki, told the gendarmes that she had seen a luminous craft with a diameter of three meters flying at the height of a building roof. Mrs. Lacotte, who lives 800 meters from Mrs. Janiki, stated that she also noticed the phenomenon.
