One of the unsolved mysteries
of today is that of the Flying
Saucers. Are they real, and, if
S o, do they come from outer
space? Or are they optical Wu -
lions or the outcome of distorted
$pagination? `
Much of the evidence comes
fromthe most reliable sources
and scientists have been quite
unable- to explain it away.
Here are two astonishing hap-
Fenings which occurred in
rance and which are described
hi a sensational and convincing
new book, "The Truth About
Flying Saucers," by Aime Michel.
* * *
At about 12.50 p.m. on Octo-
ber 17th, 1952, M. Prigent, head-
master of the school at Oloron
in S.W. France, saw a fleecy
cloud of curious shape floating
along away to the north. Above
It was a long narrow cylinder,
apparently tilted at an angle of
forty-five degrees, slowly head-
ing south-west, at an estimated
height of 6,500 to 10,000 feet.
r`r Puffs of white smoke issued
from its top side, Some distance
ahead about thirty other objects
were travelling on the same
course — shapeless smoke balls
to the naked eye, but field -
glasses revealed a red ball in the
centre encircled by a yellowish
ring at an angle to it.
These "saucers" were travel-
ling in pairs in short, swift zig-
sags. When two moved apart
they seemed to be connected by
a whitish trail like an electric
are.
All left long trails which dis-
intergrated and drifted slowly
groundwards. For many hours
afterwards trees, telephone wires
and roofs were festooned with
the remains. These threads re-
sembled wool or nylon. Rolled
up, they quickly became gelatin-
Ous, then vaporized and vanish-
- ed.
A number of witnesses collect-
ed specimens and saw this hap-
pen. The secondary school gym
teacher picked up a substantial
skein on the .sports ground and
the school staff were very ex-
cited, especially when they found
that If the threads were lighted
they flared up like Cellophane.
The science master examined
them carefully but had not time
MERRY MENAGERIE
"Tm crab-apple flavor—What
are you?"
Saw Saucer Land
to analyse them. He watched the
vaporization of one thread, about
forty feet long, which had been
twined round a stick.
Many others in the neighbour-
hood, including th e village
mayor, saw the flying objects
and the threads.. What is the
explanation? There is none, M.
Aims: Michel says in "The Truth
About Flying Saucers" It re-
mains a mystery.
He rejects a theory that these
were "Threads of the Virgin"—
huge spiders' webs spread by the
wind over the countryside, for'
he has never heard of them dis-
integrating like that.
And here is the strange sequel:
Ten days later the whole pheno-
menon was repeated over Galilee
in the same region, where at least
.a hundred residents, including
two gendarme N.C.O.'s witness-
ed it.
Here the pairs of saucers
occasionally came down lower to
about 1,000 to 1,300 feet, and the
observers likened the threads to
glass wool. But neither here nor
at Oloron did anyone try to iso-
late them in a sealed cloche or
keep any of the gas for analysis.
Other "saucers" were sighted
in France during that October,
the most astonishing at Marig-
nane airport, where M. Gachig-
nerd, a customs officer, reported
that he saw a machine land, park
for a moment, then fly off
again.
All who have spoken to him,
M. Michel says, are convinced of
his good faith; Michel believes
that the evidence is probably
true, in which case no one on
earth has ever been so close to
a flying saucer.
M. Jean Latappy, the book's
illustrator, who gave him a
searching cross - examination,
states: "Gachignard struck me as
being a simple, honest man, uni-
maginative, interested solely m
his family and routine duties,
and ,yet obstinate, scrupulous,
ready to revise his own state-
ments to make his meaning
clearer and always refusing to
use words he did not under-
stand.°
This was his testimony: Just
after 2.30 a.m., when the Nice -
Paris mail took off to schedule,
he sat on a bench outside the
hangar to eat a snack of bread
and cheese. Suddenly he saw on
his left a small light, not very
bright, which seemed to be fly-
ing towards him, following the
runway, at the speed of a jet
coming in to land — about 155
miles an hour. Its course was
absolutely straight.
Soon it passed in front of him,
and he realized that it was some-
thing actually flying. Without
slowing down, it stopped dead
about 100 yards to his right, and
as it settled on the criss-cross of
the runway he heard a dull,
muffled sound like something
being slapped flat on the ground.
Until then there had been no
noise as it came. in.
He knew it couldn't be a 'plane .
as it hadn't reduced speed or
taxied; only fifteen to twenty
seconds had passed since it first
appeared. Herose and walked
towards it, takiingabout thirty
seconds to get half -way, and dis-
covered that the light was part
of a more substantial object
darker than its surroundings,
about three and a half feet high
and ten feet long, shaped like a
Rugby football with very taper-
ed pointed ends. He couldn't see
if it had wheels.
The light came from four win-
dows set in a curved line follow-
ing '.the upper curve of the
"cigar." It was neither steady
nor bright, but flickering, ghost-
ly, soft almost milky at times.
Suddenly, when he was not
more than fifty yards off, he
saw a stream of tiny white
glowing sparks shoot under him
from below the rear end, and
the cigar took off so violently
that he lost his nerve and took`
five or six steps back.
"I wondered what was going
to happen, and if the machine
would burst into flames or run
over me. I honestly believed I
was in danger." he told M. Lat-
appy, with a look of frozen ter-
ror.
There was a slight noise like a
squib exploding at the take -off,
but no air stream, no blast, no
preliminary downward tilt. In
two or three seconds it vanish-
ed, at terrific speed, in the op-
posite direction 'to that from
which it had come.
One moment it was stationary,
the next travelling like lightning,
with a stream of fiery particles
gushing from the rear.
He at once looked round for
anyone who might have seen it,.
too, but was alone on the run-
way. He returned to the hangar,
where everyone was asleep, for
at this early hour traffic was at
a standstill.
Eventually he ran into an Air
France policeman, M. Dugaunin,
who exclaimed: "You look like
death!"
He told his story, they rang up
the control tower, but no one had
seen anything, evidently because
the machine had kept too low,
below the level of the tower.
M. Michel says Gachignard
had a reputation for being steady,
solid, reliable, essentially a
realist. He couldn't have dream-
ed it all because he was eating
at the time. It is hardly likely
that it was an hallucination, for
it squares in every detail with
the story of the great U.S. as-
tronomer, Prof. Tombaugh of
New Mexico, who also saw a
"cigar" with similar windows
flying at fantastic speeds in
complete silence.
But Gachignard alone saw the
object at rest and the shower of
sparks, and heard faint sounds
when it touched down and took
off.
"If ever the day comes when
it is established that flying
saucers exist, and come from an-
other world," Michel a d d s,
"Gachignard's 'vision' may well
be one of the great moments in
human history."
In this engrossing book he
gives the most comprehensive
account so far of reported sight-
ings in America, Europe and
Africa, sifts the evidence, and
emphasizes the need for further
scientific inquiry. It will fascin-
ate all interested in space prob-
lems.
An inebriated man entered a
restaurant and ordered the "Spe-
cial". The waiter set a bowl of
soup and some celery before him
and sometime later returned
witha lobster.
The diner looked at his plate
and said, "I drank your dirty
water and ate those stringy
weeds, but I'll be darned. if I'll
eat that bug!"
"George, dear. Mrs. Smith
wants to know if she can bor-
row your car to go home in;
she's just smashed hers against
a tree," called a wife to her
husband..
