YESTERDAY again many people thought they saw saucers and "Martians." Thus Mr. Labassière and his wife, who were returning from Saintes (Charente-Maritime), claimed to have seen, the other evening around 9 p.m., a sort of scale swaying at low altitude. The beam was a dazzling green; one of the pans was red and the other orange...
After taking up a stationary position, these two pans - according to the witnesses - detached and landed in a field. Two little beings then came out of each globe and, after crossing paths, swapped crafts.
The two devices then returned to their original place and the phenomenon disappeared in a dazzling flash.
At OLLAINVILLE, near Arpajon, six residents of the locality noticed a glowing craft which at first looked like a star and, as it drew nearer, revealed itself to be cigar-shaped. Coming from the west, the object disappeared to the east.
At SAINT-FIACRE, not far from Etampes, several people saw a craft shaped like a gigantic star hovering above the village for twenty minutes.
IN HAUTE-VIENNE, the mayor of the locality of Nexon claimed to have seen, at two hundred meters of altitude, a metallic craft in the shape of a half-sphere which suddenly disappeared at breakneck speed.
