A "flying saucer" landed in a field near Amiens...

... or at least that is what two masons claim

Amiens, September 8. -- A mason, Mr. Emile Renard, and his worker, Mr. Yves Degillabez, saw - or at least they claim so - a flying saucer that had landed in a field near Acheux-en-Amiénois.

The two men stated that they ran toward the craft, whose shape recalled "a truncated haystack covered with an immense inverted plate." The craft oscillated slightly, and on its side a door could be distinguished. As the two men approached, smoke escaped from the lower part of the "saucer." It then took off and disappeared.

The gendarmes, who opened an investigation, found no trace at the location indicated by the two masons.
