The flying saucers file grows richer...The "Martian" of the Finistère has the face covered of hairs and the eyes as large as a corbel's eggQuimper, October 6. -- Towards 4 o'clock, yesterday morning, Mr. Pierre Lucas, working baker in Loctudy (the Finistère) who was occupied drawing water in the court of bakery, saw suddenly in the night, a machine of the shape of a saucer of 2,50 m to 3 m of diameter. He saw an individual measuring approximately 1,20 m emerge of it, who approached him and tapped to him on the shoulder while uttering inintelligibles words. The workman baker succeeded in keeping his coolnes and returned to the bakehouse where the unknown followed him. In the light, Mr. Lucas managed to distinguish the visitor: he had an oval face, entirely covered of hairs and the eyes of the size of a corbel's egg. The young man called his owner, but before the latter had the time to come down, the unknown as well as the saucer disappeared without leaving a trace. A beer salesman of Concarneau has, on his side, stated to have seen in the sky, two luminous discs of the form of round tables prolonged of a kind of tail. One of the discs was motionless while the other evolved in the vicinity. The two discs disappeared at the end of ten minutes after having launched a rocket. |
