Flying saucer lands near Madras?
MADRAS, December 4. - The landing of a flying saucer in the village of Kariambakkam in the suburbs of Madras, the last Saturday is the talk in the city.
The whole village, which is home to at least a hundred educated residents, is delighted with this story. The saucer "landed" in an open space near the village road for about 20-30 hours.
The villagers said that the flying saucer was shaped like a boat with a dazzling light in the tail. Many people witnessed the landing, which was vertical and fast. They saw an object in the sky and watched it descend with lightning speed, and before they had time to understand what was happening, the object landed.
A rather incredible part of this story was the statement that there were three people on this saucer - or in a flying "boat". It was stated that two of them were men and one woman. Everyone was dressed in an impeccable "European dress".
Seeing this, the villagers ran into their homes and began to close the windows and doors. Some of them said that the passengers of the flying boat were gesturing for them to approach them. But they were so scared that they didn't go.
Five minutes later, the flying saucer rose vertically into the sky again and disappeared from sight, rising thousands of feet. One of the eyewitnesses of this event was the wife of a retired pilot-an educated lady.
Gradually, the story spread, and the whole city of Madras is now talking about the mysterious landing of a flying saucer.
