SAID TO HAVE BEEN SEEN" -

Mr. Manuel G. Leal V., teacher of primary school, affirms having Witmessed en the night
of last Sunday, together with his brother, “a luminzous ebject in the farm of a cigarette

‘tigzaging across the sky at rather high speed", and connects this with|what several police
agents of Escuintla state about having seen flying saucers.

Professor leal, who lives in Santa Marie de Jesus, department of Sacatepequez, poiats

out that “the object emitted light flames of a pale red coler from behind, and rose towards
the North unti) it was out of sight. As I live near the Nationa) Airport I discard the —~
possibility that it might have been a plane", says Mr. Leal.
