The saucer remained still for a while, high up in the ai~; but then descended on~e more, and remained at an altitude of about one thousand meters. Finally it worked up speed once more and disappeared across the shore line. . is no doubt whatsoever among the ship's crew that it was a flying s aucer they saw. The object for a time stayed as clos& to the ship as to allow photographs to be taken if that bright thought had only dawned upon them. The crew had cameras on board but in the-heat of the excitement no one thought of using them . until it was too late. ; us it was a real aircraft we saw," said the newspaper s in.formant, "but of an entirely unknown type. We estimate it to be about twice the size of an average commercial airliner. It moved at a speed so great that it actually shot like a streak of lightning through ~he air." . "A whole neet of foreign trawlers were fishing in this area where the object ~as in training.
