'Flying &aucer'
T
By Sunday ~ispatch Reporter
HOUSANDS of people in many parts of
Britain, including spectators at foot­
ball matches, saw what many of them
believed to be a flying saucer yesterday.
In each case the phenomenon-a strange
white flash which darted across the sky at terrific
speed-was seen about 4 p.m.
These reports of the passage of this object
.through the sky were received by the Sunday
Dispatch last night :
More than 500 spectators at a Soccer cup match at
Chard, Somerset, saw a strange white phenomenon dart
across the clear sky high above the grandstand at about
3.45. Within a split second of passing it seemed to disperse
on the horizon.
Spectators Cried 'Oh'
Spectators ip the stand cried " Oh ! " as the white,
liquid form sped inland from the direction of the English
Channel.
Spectators at a Rugby match two fields away saw it.
One, Mr. Arthur H. Jenkins, postmaster of Chard, said :
" It was like a diamond flash ; its shape was like a big
peardrop, with the thin end tapering behind. Suddenly it
"rnercel'.i'' into nothingness."
