In the North-West of England last Tuesday observers claim to have seen a "flying cigar."
Just before noon Mr. Edward Leslie Docker, director of a firm of wholesale fruiterers, reported seeing a huge cylindrical object from the window of his dockside office in Hindpool-road, Barrow-in-Furness.
"Out of the clouds to the west came a huge thing shaped like a cigar," he said.
"The ends looked darker than the centre, which was an aluminium colour.
"It was flying at about 4,000ft., and I estimated its length as about 100ft. It was moving through broken cloud at about 80 m.p.h."
Mr. John Clarke, of Geneva-street, Barrow, ex-R.A.F. man, also saw the object. "It was much too big for an aeroplane," he said. "It was tapered at each end."
Saucer With Lights : In a letter to the Sunday Dispatch Mr. P. D. Bell, 23-year-old civil engineer with an honours degree in technical science, says that at Didsbury, Manchester, on Sunday he saw a strange aircraft approach and fly overhead at great speed. It was circular, a light shone from the underside, and it made no noise.
A Green One : Inhabitants of Caruari, Northern Argentina, claim to have seen a "large round object of transparent green" circling the town.
