The Hague, 1st. -- A flying saucer coming from Belgium landed in Limmel, near Maastricht, in the Limburg region, during the night.
It is a small unmanned saucer about 80 cm in diameter bearing a license plate "3 R-X Mars", and its structure is of such ingenious simplicity that it would put experts to shame.
It consists, in fact, of a wicker ring covered in silver paper and kept aloft by four large children's balloons. In a kind of gondola attached to the wicker ring, a Belgian-made flashlight illuminates the saucer.
