Amiens, 8. A mason, Mr. Emile Renard, 27 years old, and his worker, Mr. Yves de Gillebez, 23 years old, claim to have seen in a field, about 200 meters from the road near Acheux-en-Amiénois, a craft resembling a truncated haystack with a kind of large overturned plate on top.
The two men, who were riding bicycles, said they jumped off their bikes and ran toward the craft, which they described as gray in color and about ten meters in diameter. It was oscillating slightly, and a kind of closed door could be seen on its side. The craft made no sound.
The two men were questioned at the Acheux-en-Amiénois gendarmerie, then taken to the spot where they claimed to have seen the craft. No traces were found on the ground.
