This article Is adapted from "Forces Arienae Fran9al5e" of,, February 1953* Captain R. Clerouini the author, gave an earDeet c^ careful deacription on the flylag tiaucer, trying to vlthilmw us from aenaatlon or obstinate disbelief. Be warns uc against deceitful repcrts, hut on the other band he adnita the evidences, further reproaching tl)ose who eocalder the flying saucer soasthlng facetious and absurd. Bhrldontly In France, fiald he -socklngly, as he wan afraid to be laughed at, people are discouraged to pay attention to this rsatter. The Tlnlted States of America set up a "Saucer Coardaslon", while General Vandenberg expressed his view foroailly. Recently a large-rcale Invertlg- atlon was isade l^r England. In France only reporters and singers are watching this miracle from m.'arby. - Boliove it or not, hut this is at variance with soience. An investlgaticn cdone on the spur of the r*enoTenon vill bring it to aght. - .Haybe nobody being interested in science will neglect this prohla. For, is science not the result of thinking about mlraelea? It Is for thlc reason that "AnrJcaaa" in publishing the following The tflitor. To write a subject on flying saucers for such a serious organ like this, is a bard job indeed and needs energy and not little optiairaa. The major problem is to seek out evidences* There are thousands off these, but a great deal appears to be false upon invest Igatioo and other events do not square \/lth each other. Anatcls France used to say that one evidence alone of sevoral happenings Is nc conclusive proof. Es added: "Cf course causes on scientif- reluctance celf-lnterest questions". difficulties plwintapy. extraordinary everything. Carefully submitted suppositionB are merely conBldered a silencer. It is hard to nake cotnparisonc between one thing aai) another. Such ic the case with evidences which acre or less are without foundation. Eventually the author produces one definite thing and that ie dissatisfaction of his readers and for the rest he i^l^t bo narked ac a clown, coaecne with a nervous breakdown. ITotwith standing, the flying saucer cannot be overlooked, there are too 3umy tjeople who know about this. To say the leart of the less groviing groupr which have never heard about this inatter, especially "official circles'*, since it is they who cautiourly keep silence on this subject. The flying saucer hno created two groups, being dlane trie *0117 oppos^ to each other. The riiracles as accepted by the majority with doubt or hope, occur in an element, i.e. the aviation world: ta'.e atraosjihere , the earth. It is lapossible that they should be flying engines. Cn the basis of such conteoplat-* ions the French Air Force cannot neglect this question. An explanation is intended to give a general infcraatlon, not to outline a theory. The emphasis of our description is therefore on the subject "Saucer" and further particulars around those ?airaculouc happenings oni Incidentally the public opinion. Aside from all theories on scientific base, following is a c script ion of the motions of saucers in the past five years. Evi^'oncer. It if! understandable that happenings around the flying saucer have been lea-^'lng to a nightmare. The flying saucer looms up saddenly, stays for awhile !ticnless, it does not leave concrete traces with a little exception according to some vitnesseB. Evlences are growing bigger and bigger. All phenomena in the atmosphere which have given rise to the aesumptioo that there are flying engines opeiTiting in secrecy, are linked up with the Saucer. These views cosne fr^ free countries, according to the Soviet Russian !3.oc and followers, it is not revealed whether Russia considers this matter Important or not, her formal attitude is "ant 1-Saucer " . 7!:e number of published evidences covers tl:e thousands, either the proof or the eignificance of these ie quite different. Cur folloving infonnation hF.6 been gained as much as possible from own sources. Cririnal sources like press, reportages, individual investigations should be checked carefully, 5inc all too often it turns out that many newspapers receive, publish and discuss evi'^ences, reports or talks cn this subject insufficient- ly, that is not in compliance with Journalistic rights. The first evidences which can be connected with the flying saucer do not date from yesterday alone. More than ICQ years ago "flying fishes", **flying triangles" and "flying boats" already flew above Jlce, San Francisco, L^nlon or Few Zealand, which by that time did not arire special excitement.
