"THE MAN FROM MARS" IN FRANCE
LILLE (France), October 16. The "Martian craze" in France almost cost the lives of farmers from Sansny (northern France).
Last night, he was trying to repair his car when a neighbor, mistaking him for a Martian, shot him twice with a hunting rifle. They flew past his head and hit the back of the car.
The farmer, Mr. Maurice Rouen, complained to the police, who soon identified the hunter as Mr. Faisan.
Explaining what happened, the latter said:
"When I saw a silhouette moving in front of the headlights, I thought it was a Martian repairing his flying saucer. I went to get a gun and opened fire."
Despite his good faith, Feisan will be held accountable.
