DEDICATION
This history series is dedicated to the memory of Francis
R. "Dick" Scobee of Cle Elum, Washington, Mission Commander
of the space shuttle Challenger and a "shirt tail" relative
on ray Mother's side of the family.
Acknowledgments:
I would like to thank pioneer UFOlogist Vincent Gaddis for the gift
of his collection of UFO newspaper clippings covering the early years of
the UFO mystery, as well as George Early who took the time and the trouble
to copy considerable material for my use from his UFO files, and Stanton
Friedman, who was equally helpful by permitting access to his extensive
library of aerial pheonmena. Furthermore, Lucius Farish has provided
some vital items, good advice, and strong encouragement.
Similarly, Dr.
Richard F. Haines gave a lot of help, as did Lawrence Fawcett.
In addition, Claude Mauge of France and Hilary Evans of England pro
vided newspaper clippings from Europe.
Tom Benson of New Jersey was kind enough to share some rare UFO newsbulletins which might have been otherwise unobtainable.
Finally, it would be difficult to overestimate the assistance given
by Marv Tayor, Northern California director of MUFON who currently
operates the UFO Data Research 6 Intelligence Center, Exhibit 6 Library,
500 Ninth St., Suite G, P.O. Box 4877, Modesto, CA, 95352-4877.
France in an uproar.
By October the Flying Saucer flap in Europe(France) reached a
peak. On the following pages are samples of how the print media
catered to the public's fasination. Events mirrored the Anerican
experience.

FOR TOE SERIOUS MINDED TOERE WERE TECHINCAL DISCUSSIONS
THE FIFTH HORSEMAN OF THE APOCALYPSE
UFOs a History
1954: October
Another cult.
Still another UFO cult was making itself known in the U.S. at this time,
its founder a Marian Keech, a Utah resident who claimed to have established
contact with outer space entities by using "automatic writing." The mess
ages attracted considerable press attention because they predicted a vast
physical disaster to take place on a specific date.
According to a news
paper story:
"Lake City will be destroyed by a flood from Great Lake just be
fore dawn,'December 21st, according to a suburban housewife.
Mrs.
Marian Keech of 847 West School Street says the prophecy by auto
matic writing, she says...The messages, according to Mrs. Keech,
are sent to her by superior beings from a planet called 'Clarion.1
These beings have been visiting the Earth, she says, in what we call
'Flying Saucers.' During their visits, she says, they have observed
fault lines in the Earth's crust that foretoken the deluge. Mrs.
Keech reports she was told the flood will spread to form an inland
sea stretching from the Artie Circle to the Gulf of Mexico." 1.
As English cult expert Kevin Me Clure observed, Keech's movement fit a
classic pattern:"It had a communicator, an explanation for the whole UFO
mystery, a message of great importance, and a task for its members --not so
much to publicise the disaster, as to prepare themselves to survive it." 2.
"*" Unfortunately for those people seeking to make the UFO subject respect
able, the Keech group would receive considerable publicity during the count
down in Detember.
"Churchills."
A "cigar volant," or what some Frenchmen called a "Churchill," an affect
ionate allusion to the famed British Prime Minister who was always seen with
his mouth clamped on a big roll of tobacco; was reported on the first of the
month"at Blanzy, France, at 1:00 in the afternoon. According to two brick
layers, M. Romain Sebastiani and M. Bruno Buratto, they viewed a cigar-like
object that flew with a whistling sound. This "cigar volant" was on the
small side, however, an object the men said was about 3 meters long and some
80 milimeters in diameter. The pointed nose, the witnesses claimed, was a
yellow color and the remainder of the body brown. A pair of long appendages
were said to be attached to the object's nose section. (This UFO seems unlike
any other that was reported so there is a chance the story is a hoax)
3.
Later that afternoon(4:00 p.m.) at Bry Nord, France, a glowing white ob
ject was said to have dived at a man and his dog. Both were reportedly
"paralyzed" during the experience.
4.
Dhubri, India.
We have no time of day for the report but it seems a woman in Dhubri, in
India, notified the local police when she saw a "luminous plate" flying in
the sky, the "plate" trailing something we assume was smoke. This "plate"
was seen landing in a field and then taking to the air again. No other de
tail was given.
5.
"Little man crosses the road."
Another case for which we have no time of day is a report from two motorists
who were travelling in the vicinity of St Jean de Angely. M.Estier and a M.Phelippeau, both French businessmen, had left the town of Royan and were speed
ing down the highway when to their surprise they saw a "little man" cross the
road some distance ahead. No details are available but the two witnesses were
impressed enough to stop their car so they could watch as the strange figure
fled into a forested area.
October 1st.
6.
(7:00 p.m.)
Jussy, France.
A hoax?
According to our source, at Jussy, France, a French farmer informed the
local authorities a white-colored machine landed near him and a couple of "very
tall" beings dressed in white-colored clothes came out of the craft and made
gestures to him.
The farmer said he ran away.
7.
Jacques Vallee learned that subsequent investigations determined that the
report was a hoax.
8.
The "shooting star" that landed.
It was getting late (10:00) the evening of October 1st as French fireman Jean
Dufix returned to his home in Bergerac. A streak of light lit up the heavens
and M. Dufix thought for a moment he was witnessing a shooting star, but this
object was close, too close, in fact it appeared the "meteor" had impacted in
his own backyard since a red glow illuminated the area.
As a fireman M. Du- fix's immediate impression was that his property was ablaze.
A neighbor, M. Jean Lebonne, evidently attracted by all the light, peered
out a window and saw a strange, disc-shaped, object about three meters in dia
meter, "parked" in M. Dufix1 s yard.
The thing was motionless, resting on three
legs.
M." Dufix quickly arrived, on the scene and saw for himself the mysterious
object. The UFO did not stay long.
It soon rose, became luminous again (it had
apparently lost its glowing appearance when it touched down) and shot away at a
fabulous velocity.
9.
Brauges, France.
At the same time as M. Dufix's experience, a M. Gilbert Prudent was driving
near Louhan, France, when his headlights lit up a glowing mass parked on the
shoulder of the road up ahead. As he closed the distance between him and the
"glowing mass," M. Prudent could make out something of its shape. There appear
ed to be a "flat portion" and a "mushroom-shaped" section on top. Before his
car could draw abreast of the thing, its glow dimmed and with a shrill, highpitched, sound, the thing launched itself vertically into the sky.
10.
M. George Ollivier, a French railroad worker
who lived in the town of Criel, made a "spaceman
costume" out of odds and ends. Although crude,
the result managed to scare the socks off many
of his neighbors.
Hoaiter Georges
Olllvitr
"Domed craft."
October 1st.
It was reported by a M. Nicolas that a "domed craft" landed at a spot beteen some tracks and a road near Louhans, France.
The craft had windows or
some kind of ports in the side that were lit by yellow-colored light.
11.
The first day of October the Swedish Defense fiinistry requested a secret
investigation of UFOs. Donald Keyhoe states this as a fact although he pro
vides no further data or a source.
12.
"Voluminous circular mass."
October 2nd.
At Anduze, France, on October 2nd, a M. Nicetta Edmond spotted what he said
was a "voluminous circular mass" in the sky. This "mass" seemed to be moving,
evidently revolving, since red and blue lights being emitted from the mass
were only visible at regular intervals.
While under observation the mysterious mass lost altitude, rocking back and
forth as it descended. Several others besides M. Edmond viewed the phenomenon.
13.
More and more.
The sheer number of UFO sightings in France did what no one UFO sighting
ever accomplished however impressive it may have been. Vallee observed:"The
'flying saucer1 began to lose its academic character and entered the experience
of daily life.
It completely monopolized the press and general conversation."
14.
Levroux, France.
October 2nd.
A disc-shaped object buzzed the rooftops of Levroux on the 2nd and was re
ported to the local police by two of the village women. The reports, made in
dependently, describe the object as three meters in diameter and luminous.
15.
Jonches, France.
October 2nd.
A brief report mentions two "creatures" at a particular location, and after
a period of two hours a low flying, red glowing, object was seen in the same
area.
16.
Croix D' Epine, France.
(10:00 p.m.)
"Fainted while telling the story."
Nineteen-year-old Ernest Delattre was roaring down the highway on his motor
scooter near Croix D' Epine 10:00 p.m. on October 2nd, when he noticed a bright
ly lit, egg-shaped mass dropping down out of the night sky. The UFO came to
rest next to the roadway which enabled Delattre to estimate its size.
It seem
ed as big as a bus. As he approached, Delattre thought he saw small, dark,
shapes doing something in the vicinity of the UFO, but before he got too close
the mystery craft shot skyward, giving off different colors of light, changing
from one color to another in turn:orange, blue, and a gray-blue. M. Delattre
was so excited he fainted while telling the story to the authorities.
17.
Dogs hear UFO?
A big cigar-shaped object soared low over the countryside near Poncey-sur-
Plgnon, France on October 2nd.
It was about 8:00 p.m.
In the area was a Nine. Guainet who was doing her farm chores. Accompanied
by the family dogs, Nine. Guainet went about her work milking the cows and didn't
noticed anything until the hounds ran towards the woods, baying in excitement
for some unknown reason. The woman dashed after the animals and saw the cause
of the dogs' agitation. Coming into view was a huge, illuminated spindle. 18.
Apparently the dogs heard the UFO before it became visible.
Vallee refers to other reports on this day but gives no details:Megrine-
Coteaux, Tunisia; and one in Scotland.
19.
Trying to make sense of the whirlwind of reports may be impossible although
Vallee and Michel made an attempt. One source of information on the wave de
clared that the French Air Ministry officially launched an investigation on
October 2nd after "267" French citizens had come forward to report UFOs but
undoubtly there were many more too shy to say a word. What evidently moved
authorities toward some formal plan of action, besides the number of UFO wit
nesses, was that sightings were being made in every comer of the country and
the fact that many respectable people were "seeing things." 20. Unfortunate
ly the data that was being accumulated left much to be desired. .American UFO
expert Ted Bloecher complained:"French reporters usually appear to be more in
terested in discussion than investigation." 21.
October 3rd.
A "long object," a flying cigar perhaps, zoomed over Banyals-sur-Mer,
France, on October 3rd.
It emitted flames of green and red, according to the
newspaper France Dimanche.
22.
A front page story.
October 3rd.
*'
London's Sunday Dispatch.
So much was happening in France the English press was forced to take note.
Actually the story was too big. The London Sunday Dispatch could only print
a summary on its front page.
With the situation unclear, errors and the lack
of detail was inevitable in the reporting.
The Dispatch informed its readers:
"Near Grenoble farmer Joseph Habrat saw a luminous engine moving at
great speed.
"His daughter, Yvette, said it came to within 600 yards with a
'gentle snoring sound.'
"A little later two thousand people saw a dozen of them 'dancing a
ballet' in the sky.
"Two people at Rixheim, near Mulhouse, watched a cigar-shaped lum
inous engine surrounded by twelve smaller satellite cigars.
"Three holiday-makers on Carry-le-Rouet beach saw a half-cigar over
the port.
Three women who saw it described it as leaving a trail of
smoke.
"A flying mushroom was reported by a lorry-driver and his friend at
Faremontiers.
It was in a field and had three tripod-like legs.
"'I tried to approach it,' he said,'but about four hundred feet
away I was stopped by a ray.
I felt little prickings.
My head swam.
I had a cold sweat.
I could not move.'
"The mushroom then rose slowly and flew off.
"Dr. Martinet, skin disease specialist at Chambery, watched a flying
saucer manoeuvring in the sky for four minutes. %
"In the gulf of Gascony the mate and two seamen of a cargo boat saw
a moving disc with a greenish glow.
"Actress Michele Morgan saw a luminous disc over the Invalides air
terminal in Paris.
"There have been three reports of men from another planet landing in
France.
"At Vienne a farmer said the visitor, who wore a kind of diving suit,
caressed his arm.
"A woman at Drome saw 'a being about the size of a child and with a
human face. He seemed to be wrapped in a transparent sack.'
"Both visitors to France returned to their saucers and took off ver
tically.
"A little helmated and booted man with a revolver firing 'luminous
and paralysing rays' was seen by the foreman of a quarry at Marcilly-
sur-Vienne and six of his workmen.
"A whislting sound drew the attention of two men at Blanzy to a
cigar-shaped machine in a freshly ploughed field.
"The men said the machine was about six feet in length. The pointed
tip was yellow, the rest of the cigar brown.
"As they approached the machine it rose vertically.
"A policeman, a grocer, and eight other people saw an incandescent
'cigar' at Agen.
"A 'brilliant ball1 appeared to a stallkeeper at Belesta. He said
it left a trail of grey smoke as it shot through the sky
" 23.
The author of the aformentioned account noted that at the sane time that
dayCOctober 3, 19S4) 40 miles away an amazing "sky display" was taking place
above a wooded area near the village of Marcoign, France,'before 20 witness
es.
That so many people at the same moment at different locations should
havje a similar hallucination boggled the writer's mind, so much so he con
sulted a psychiatrist assigned to the Law Courts of the Seine, a Dr. Gouriou.
"Is mass "delusion upon this scale possible?"
The above question was put to the mental health expert who replied he had
never known a flying saucer to play a role in any of his patient's hallucin
ations , and that hallucinations were usually sounds rather than visual images.
Moreover, when on rare occasions visual disorders did occur, such problems
were nearly always due to toxemia or cerebral lesions which would certainly
help to rule out the possibility of a "mass visual delusion."
24.
Dr. Gouriou then wisely ended the interview with:"...I for one think that
those who maintain that they have seen saucers do so in good faith, unless
of course they are trying to hoax us. But we must never forget that whatever'
a normal human being sees, he, to a considerable extent interprets, and this
fact alone renders all human evidence fallible." 25.
The "delusion" at Marcoigm
(also at 8:00 p.m.)
A UFO was seen by people over a wide area as it approached the Gouillet
woods outside the village of Marcoing where it hovered above the trees. One
might assume the UFO was the same object seen earlier at Chereng 35 miles to
the north.
The press quoted a woman witness at Marcoing:"It was circular,
and red-orange in color. A little below this immobile object, and as though
suspended from it, she saw a small spot of light with a kind of seesaw move
ment." 26. A curious fact about the 20 witnesses at Marcoign was that they
consisted entirely of the local police force and theif families. According
to these people the UFO remained in place over the wood until 8:30 p.m. when
some changes occurred, the circular UFO taking on a spindle shape(perhaps it
rotated) while the small spot of light below it disappeared.
After this
transformation, the UFO moved away in the direction of Amiens.
27.
Amiens, France.
(Approximately 8:33 p.m.)
A brightly-lit orange-colored "mushroom hat" sailed into view near the
town of Amiens about 8:30 p.m.
One witness was quoted as saying :1he upper
part of-the 'mushroom' appeared to vibrate as it changed color from violet
to greenish, while short tables' of some kind hung from the bottom surface."
28
"Three other witnesses in the area, Nine. Nelly Mans art and M. 5 Nine. Delarouxe, had just left Herissart village on a drive to Amiens when they spotted
the UFO descending out of the clouds. The thing dropped to the ground about
150 yards from them and at that range appeared to be an object 25 feet in
diameter and "mushroomed-shaped." After reaching ground level, the strange
object followed their car for a time and then took off in the direction of
the village-of Riannville.
Biderstroff, France.
29.
(9:00 p.m.)
Emitting lights of a purple and green hue, "something" moved about in the
night sky over Biderstroff area. At one point it swooped close to the earth
as i£ to land in a stand of trees, but as it other cases nothing much happen
ed because when a witness rushed to the spot the thing left in a hurry. 30.
Rve, France.
(9:10 p.m.)
An orange-colored UFO chased a car driven by M. George Gallant for 8 Kilo
meters and only broke off the pursuit when the town limits of Rve were reach
ed.
Gallant's wife and son were passengers in the car and also witnesses the
phenomenon.
31.
Lievin, France.
(9:25 p.m.)
A spindle-shaped object hovered low in the sky near Lievin and was under
observation long enough to attract scores of witnesses.
Those that watched
the object said they could see a smaller body "detached itself" from the
larger and then dive down to a quick touchdown on the plateau of Lorette.
The small body then rose to rejoin its "parent."
phenomenon headed south out of sight.
32.
Milly-la-Foret, France.
Once reunited, this odd
(9:30 p.m.)
A pair of "big stars" danced in the sky just east of Paris at 9:30 p.m.
and then moved south.
Meanwhile, a "half-moon-shaped" object was viewed
hovering above Milly for a time and then it dipped' to a lower altitude where
witnesses could see that the thing was:"...a kind of reddish cigar accompan
ied below by a small shinning ring." 33.
Ronsenac, France.
(10:45 p.m.)
Flatten and scorched grass.
Ground traces highlight the next case that took place at Ronsenac where
the witness was 23-year-old Jean Allary.
He spotted a big circular object
some 3-4 feet thick gliding on the ground. As the object glided along, a
number of luminous spots were visible on its surface, but when the thing
rose and flew away the entire object became luminous.
An area of f?rass
about 6 yards wide was found flattened and scorched.
34.
Benet, France.
(11:00 p.m.)
For several minutes-a red UFO, its size 6 by 12 feet, was observed motion
less over a swampy area by a French couple, M. and Nine. Guillemoteau. The
observation ended when the UFO shot straight up out of sight.
35.
Gueblin, France.
(11:45 p.m.)
The last report of the day came from Gueblin where a M. Gilcher and a M.
Domant watched as a disc,casting off a feeble green glow, set down in a
field.
Others on the road nearby also witnessed the landing.
No one was
brave enough to investigate.
36.
Lavaux, France,
(no known time)
Perhaps the most bizarre tale of the day was M. Roger Barrault's, a resident
of Lavaux, who told everyone he had encountered a singular being, a being with:
"...brilliant eyes, arid an enormous moustache, who spoke Latin." 37.
October 4th.
More reaction in the English press.
The London Daily Telegraph commented:
"Another outbreak of flying saucery brings stories ranging from the
plausible to the childish. That mysterious aircraft of eccentric
shape may have been seen is not disputed.
There are secret lists,
and not all of those who suggest space-ships are necessarily irres
ponsible. Nor are circular aircraft without precedent. There was
an American disc-winged aeroplane, and over forty years ago Capazza,
.*. designed a lenticular airship which would have qualified as either a
saucer or a cigar, according to one's viewpoint.
Indeed, there is
• scarcely a limit to the shapes and sizes of these alleged machines.
"All down the centuries people have reported prodigies in the sky.
They usually have been what they expected, or feared, to see-devils,
- murdered emperors, departed relatives, unpleasant animals, under
threat of war, embattled armies among the clouds. One can see things
clearly in a dream, and can even hear complex yet recognisable music.
Intra-cerebral illusions may persist, or exceptionally occur, while
the subject is awake. Nowadays people still fear war and dread cur
ious flying machines for what they may bring. Without denying the
possibility that various odd aircraft exist, unknown to millions and
undescribed in technical papers, it is fair to assume that most stor
ies of flying saucers, dishes, beer bottles, cigars and 'luminous en
gines' are the ghost stories of today."
38.
America's Dr. Menzel speaks out.
On October 4th the word from Boston, Massachusetts, was:"There is nothing
'in any degree' to justify the idea that we are 'suffering from a visitation'
from outer space, says Dr. Donald H. Menzel." 39.
France.
The wild stories continue.
October 4th.
(no time known)
A railroad employee living in Limoges, a M. Montagne, claimed a strange
machine had landed on his property.
No other details available. 40.

Sightings in the
French press.
4 October 1954
9 .
Lezignan, France,
(no time known)
Yet another one of those brief touchdowns by a UFO was reported on the
4th. Truck drivers Andre Garoia and Andre Darzais were travelling a high
way near the town of Lezignan when they saw a luminous disc, an estimated
30 feet across, coast to a momentary landing. With a surge of power the
disc soared skyward while emitting a burst of white light.
October 4th.
Villers-les-Tilleue, France.
41.
(6:40 p.m.)
A 10-year-old child named Bertieux told authorities he had seen a strange
object on the ground, and a "figure" next to it.
"shaped like a tent."
October 4th.
The object was, he said,
42.
Chaleix, France,
(no time known)
Extract from French Radioteletype:
"A Dordogne farmer saw 'Martians again yesterday.
According to him,
they were two normal men, of European type, dressed in khaki overalls.
They came down from an object which had landed in the vicinity, ap
proached the farmer and shook his hand, asking him:'Paris-nord?' Awed
by stupefaction, the fanner was unable to answer. The two strangers
stroked his dog and boarded their engine.
They lighted up some kind
of electrical lighting and the apparatus flew away rapidly and noise
lessly, without smoke or spark, at a dizzy speed.
Owing to fog and
semi-darkness, the witness was unable to observe exactly, and gave the
following description:The object had the trunk of a big cart, and the
formof an oval 'oval soup-tureen' steamlined to the front." 43.
October 4th.
Tregon, France.
(Evening)
When some people in Tregon sighted a strange object hovering above a hill
top notNtoo far away, they jumped into a car and tried to approach the thing
before it left the area.
To their disappointment the object took off moments,
later.
44.
October 4th.
Megrit, France.
(Evening)
It was guessed that the object seen near Tregon was the same object that
showed up at Megrit where a flat, metallic-looking, thing was seen hovering
over a farm at a height of only ISO feet.
The town of Megrit is only 20
miles or so to the southwest of Tregon.
45.
October 4th.
Poncey, France.
(8:00 p.m.)
"Fourneret, come quickly!"
The mayor of Poncey, M. Cazet, had invited several villagers to dine at
his home the evening of October 4th.
The men were eating and socializing
when they were rudely interrupted at 8:00 p.m. as a messenger arrived with
bad news for one of the mayor's guests, a M. Fourneret, who learned his
wife had suffered a bad fright and had fled to a neighbor's house.
"Four
neret, come quickly," pleaded the messenger who was panting violently after
a frantic ride on his bicycle.
There was a mad scramble to M. Foumeret's
neighbors, the Bouillers, as the mayor and the other men around the table
dropped their silverware and ran after Foutneret who was doing his best to
get home as fast as possible.
When the'men arrived at the Bouiller's, they
met some other people from the village that had gathered to render aid and
comfort:M. Girardo, M. Vincent, and Mme. Strasdot.
M. Fourtneret found his
10
Yvette, terrified but otherwise O.K.
"It was about 8:00 p.m.
Nine. Yvette's story follows:
Night had already fallen.
I walked over to
the window to close the shutters and it was then that I saw the 'thing.1
I happened to glance outside.
"About 65 feet in front of the house, in M. Cazet's field, a luminous
body was swaying lightly in the air near the plum tree, as if getting
ready to land. As near as I could judge it was about 10 feet in dia
meter, was an elongated form in a horizontal position and was of orange
color.
It glowed rather feebly, but enough to light the branches of the
nearby trees.
"Scared to death, I took ray little one and we ran to Mme. Bouiller's
my neighbor, where we closed the door. M. Girardo and M. Vincent
arrived by chance.
Seeing our fright they asked what had happened.
After we told them they armed themselves with rifles and ran toward
the field. There was nothing there. But on examining the ground they
found a fresh track proving that I had not been dreaming." 46.
We have to make one correction here. The "track" left by the object was
much more than that, it was a huge hole, a hole impressive enough to attract
investigators from all over the country!
The .crowd at the Bouiller's house went to the site of the supposed land
ing, and while they stood around talking, the Bouiller's 18-year-old son
ran up bursting to tell what had happened to him moments earlier.
Ignorartt
of the excitement at the Fourneret's, the youth exclaimed that a "luminous
machine" of a greenish color had zoomed passed him as he approached the
village on his way home.
47.
More "landings."
Abbeville, France,
(no time known)
Two people independently observed a "big bee-hive" about the size of an
auto on the ground near Abbeville. A figure in a "diving suit" was also seen.
48.
Dinan, France,
49.
(no time known)
A witness reported a landed "saucer" and two child-sized figures nearby.
Bergerac, France,
(no time known)'
A ten foot wide luminous disc was reported on the ground by two people near
Bergerac. The object had three "legs," or what one might call landing sup
ports. No figures were noted in the vicinity.
50.
October 5th.
Loctudy, France.
(4:00 a.m.)
"Eyes as large as raven eggs."1
The making of bread requires that bakers be early risers and M.P. Lucas,
a baker at Loctudy, was no exception. At 4:00 a.m. October 5th M. Lucas was
preparing for a day's work by drawing a pail of water from a well when he saw
11
a parked circular machine near by from which a "hairy dwarf emerged. With
a face covered with hair and with eyes the size of raven.eggs, the little
creature must have been quite a sight but M. Lucas said he permitted the
"dwarf" to approach close enough to touch him lightly.
The creature then
uttered some sounds that may have heen words in an alien language.
After
that the "drarf" climbed aboard his machine and flew away.
51.
(Jacques
Vallee suggests that suspicious similarities between this case and one at
the town of Roverbella indicates a hoax).
October 5th.
Le Mans, France.
(6:30 a.m.)
A hour and a half later some men driving to work on Rt.N23 near Le Mans
passed a luminous object resting on the ground next to the highway.
At the
same moment the men suffered a strange sensation, a "prickling and a sort of
paralysis." With a flash of green light, the object was seen to lift off
and speed away over the treetops.
52.
October 5th.
Beaumont, France.
(3:45 p.m.)
Another "curious sensation."
Several witnesses were amazed as an object descended out of the daytime
sky.
The thing was glowing, but with less and less intensity as it approach
ed.
As the distance was reduced to about 150 meters the witnesses experi
enced a "curious sensation," a paralysis of some sort,also a smell, like
nitrobenzine was noticed.
53.
Poncy, the day after.
Word of Mme. Fourneret's experience spread fast. When they first heard
-.about the incident, the local police suspected a "Martian hoax" by Poncy
teenagers, but the lawmen soon found that various independent witnesses
scattered throughout the countryside had seen an aerial object that match
ed Ntae. Fourneret's story as to the time and direction of travel.
-.
Capt. Millet of the Semur-en-Auxois detachment was impressed after making
inquiries and visiting the site, so he briefed the Senior Commandant of
Dijon, a M. Viala, who also visited Poncy, coming away intriqued.
A professor from the University of Dijon showed up to satisfy his curiousity, as did Charles Garreau, the newspaper reporter who had made it his
job to check out many of the reports being made during the wave. Another
French civilian of note, Aime Michel, collaborated with Garreau.
Finally, officers of the French Air Force arrived to investigate(The Air
Force Commandant at Dijon, General de Chassey, took a personal interest in
the case)
The "hole."
Attention was centered on the "hole" left by the UFO.
No one who saw it
came away unimpressed.
The tear in the earth was five feet across with
large clods of dirt scattered many feet beyond that. The edge of the hole
was ragged with no "cut" marks detectable. Wriggling white worms were read
ily visible testifying to the freshness of the great wound in the gTound.
It was quite strange how the many roots exposed were not not sheared off
in any manner, the extraction of dirt apparently done by some kind of huge
vacuum clearner.
55.
12
October 5th.
Metz, France,
(no time known)
A metallic-like globe hung motionless in the sky above Metz, France,
for three hours. A French army searchlight found it in the night heavens
at an altitude of approximately 30,000 feet.
October 5th.
56.
Egypt.
A few UFO reports were now coming in from Egypt which demostrated the
southern movement of the 1954 wave.
ftmdreds of fellahs
viewed a strange cigar-shaped object for 20 min
utes as it maneuvered above Mehalla-el-Kobra; while at Behnay some ob
jects of a similar configuration sped overhead trailing thick smoke, one
of which blew up injuring a person on the ground and killing two cows.
A village near the Suez Canal, East Kantara, was the site of a "rotating
saucer" report by a Lt. Tewrik of the Egyptian military, who snapped a
picture and sent a print to the Egyptian Army Public Relations office.
The photo might have been the reason a local military commander, Admiral
Youssef Hammad, requested pilots flying over Cario to keep an eye out for
any strange phenomen.

its top was luminous and a little later he saw it divide along its
length into three smaller sections, which gradually disappeared.
"An inhabitant of the Lower Seine and Marne sent a letter to a local
newspaper, stating that he had seen 'a big disc, from 8 to 10 meters
in diameter, which was rotating on a certain spot, while sending out
red and purple lights. The object was about 400 meters in height and
gliding over him for more than 20 minutes."

October 6th.
Villers-le-Lac, France.
(10:30 p.m.)
A balloon?
A slow moving white light came out of the west and sailed to a point
100 yards away from the home of Mme. Salabrine and her daughter on the
outskirts of Villers-le-Lac.
Having approached that close, and under ob
servation by the two women, the thing in the sky was seen to be mainly a
dark mass with a small white light underneath it.
A shower of sparks
issued from the object and after remaining motionless for a brief time, it
moved away quickly.
63.
October 7th.
Beruges, France.
(4:00 a.m.)
It was so early for the first UFO sighting on October 7th the witness,
a farmer named M. Edward Thebault, was not yet up and about.
A strong
light woke him and he staggered to the window and with his sleepy eyes saw
the source of the bright illumination, a glowing mass about nine feet in
diameter resting on the road that ran by the farmhouse only a few yards
away. M. Thebault flipped on the switch to his roomlight which apparently
produced a reaction from the object.
The object suddenly swept the area
with a powerful beam.
In a panic M. Thebault rushed to wake his father
but by the tine the two returned to the window to look out, the mysterious
thing had disappeared.
64.
October 7th.
Plozevet, France,
(no time known.
Early morning?)
. A smoky, glowing, orange-colored, object appeared in the sky near the
coastal village of Plozevet. Villagers claimed the UFO at one time dipped
to an altitude of only 30 feet before moving away to the southeast. Numer
ous fishermen at sea also witnessed the phenomenon.
October 7th.
Jettinggen, France.
65.
(Sunrise)
Speeding along on Rt N16 near Jettingen on his motor scooter, M. Rene
Ott passed a field where a mushroom-shaped object was hover just above the
ground. Visible on the side of the nine foot wide object was a luminous
rectangle(a door?0. M. Ott raced away on his scooter but the object took
up the chase, the UFO flying just above the scooter(15 feet or so) and
staying in that position until the nearest town was reached.
66.
• October 7th.
St-Jean-D'Asse, France.
(6:20 a.m.)
Yet another Frenchman on the highways that morning received a surprise.
It seems a M. Alexander Tremblay, driving a truck on Rt N138 near Stjean-
D'Asse, had trouble making it up a slight grade.
It was still dark(o:20
a.m.)and M. Trembley's had his headlights on.
For no apparent reason the
truck's engine quit and the headlights failed. M. Tremblay got out to
check under the hood but his attention was suddenly drawn to a powerful
blue-colored light speeding in his direction, and as it approached, M.
Tremblay"could see that the light was being emitted by a flying cigar,
blue and red in hue.
67.
October 7th. Monteux, France,
(no time known)
Another "landing" was suppose to have taken place in the vicinity of
Monteux, France, on the 7th when a M. Margaillon encountered a hay stack
shaped object on the ground which he estimated was about 8 feet in dia
meter. M. Margaillon felt so paralyzed for some reason even his breathing
was affected and he gasped for air.
68.

October 7th.
Mendionale, France,
(no time known)
"Little men and a^ flying mushroom."
The French newspaper Sud-Quest published this story:
"M. Manes Guesurtia of t!endionale(Basses-Pyrenees) was on his way to
work on October 7, 1954, when he noticed at a distance a strange ob
ject that seemed to be shaped like a mushroom.
Walking across the
field toward it, he saw on the grass two red engines about 2 meters
in diameter. Besides them stood two little men about 80 centimeters
tall. The two little men gestured to him, indicating that he should
enter one of the machines.
They entered the other one, and it rose
into the air without a sound.
Looking through the open door of the
other object, M. Guesurtia saw a third little man.
Suddenly the door
was closed and the second object also took off, displacing a slight
current of air.
Neighbors said that they saw nothing, but they found
the grass on the prairie crushed and yellow." 69.
October 7th.
District of Peronne, France,
(no time known)
A rature interesting event is described by Aime Michel, although brief
ly, concerning an object reported flying over a wooded area in the Peronne
district called Foucaucourt-en-Santerre.
People living in an area covering
some 30 kilometers got a glimpse of the UFO, various witnesses reporting
the same details as to time and size. Michel was struck by the fact the
UFO,a cigar-like body, resembled the thing reported at Margnane, France,
back on October 26, 1952.
October 7th.
k
70.
Rimini, Italy,
(no time known)
A flying cigar was spotted zipping across the horizon at Rimini on the
Adriatic coast by a Professor G. Umani.
Saucer lookouts were supposed to have been set up by the Italian Air
Ministry and a group of astronomers based at Lucques let the public know
they would act as a clearing house for flying saucer reports.
October 7th.
Kenya,
71.
(no time known)
A mention was made on the newswires that numerous UFO sightings were
being made in the central African nation of Kenya. Unfortunately no de
tails were given.

October 7th.
Midura, Australia,
(no time known)
A star-like body was reported making unusual motions in the sky.
such motion was a cork-screw course. 73.

Leonard Stringfield and Dr. Herget.
"Do you have a security clearance."
In October 19S4 the editor of the C.R.I.F.O. Newsletter, Leonard Stringfield, was receiving numerous inquiries from his" readers concerning the big
green fireball that steaked over the U.S. Southwest back on September 18th,
asking if the phenomenon had any riossible connection with the UFO riddle.
Needing some scientific advice, Stringfield made up his mind to contact Dr.
Herget, a professor on the staff of the University of Cincinnati.
It seem
ed to be worth a try since it was known Dr. Herget was working on a Navy
satellite program and just happened to be the world's foremost authority on
asteroids.

Stringfield got through to Dr. Herget and introduced himself by saying he
wanted some expert advice on green fireballs and the UFO mystery, mentioning
that he had already discussed things with the Air Force's BLUE BOOK people
at Wright Field.
The professor was receptive and suggested that Stringfield
stop by at the University Observatory where they could talk in private. Quite
possibly Stringfield was ignorant of the fact Dr. Herget was no stranger to
the UFO problem, having conferred with the Air Force on at least one occasion
that we know of, back in February 1948, according to BLUE BOOK records, con
cerning a group of strange "meteors" that zoomed over Memphis, Tennessee.
Also, it was Dr. Herget who suggested to BLUE BOOK that they sign on Dr. Lin
coln LaPaz and Dr. J. Allen Hynek as project scientific advisors.
That the Cincinnati University professor was not a "babe in the woods" in
regards to the UFO problem, was something Stringfield learned about quick
enough.
It was Dr. Herget that began the interview when the two men sat
down to talk in the professor's office, the astronomer asking Stringfield:"Do
you have a security clearance?" When the UFO buff gave a negative reply,
this is what happened, as Stringfield describes it:"As though operated on a
pushbutton, the atmosphere changed. Turning red, Dr. Herget said harshy, 'I
take a dim view of the whole subject. There's absolutely nothing to it." 74.
Stringfield tried to save the interview after that by presenting evidence for
the existence of UFOs but Dr. Herget took a hard-line Menzel-type attitude
and cut the meeting short.

"Everybody laughs at us."
Two young French children were questioned by police after they claimed to
-have seen something extraordinary 6:00 a.m. October 7th.
The oldest of the
two, ten-year-old Claude Lasselin, protested:"Everybody laughs at us, but we
saw what-we saw."
According to Claude, he and his nine-yea->--old sister
Francoise were walking home when they saw a big, red-colored, egg-shaped, ob-''"
ject resting in an open field.
Curious, the children crept up on the object

crossing at St.-Etienne-Sous-Barbuise.
Glowing brightly, one round object
and two cigar-shaped objects, had parked themselves at the spot for some un
known reason.
M. Marcel Guyet passed that way after work and saw the objects, as did his
son who travelled the same road a short time later.

A mysterious flying object was supposed to have made a brief landing in

in time to see the object before it rose and made its departure. 78.

first took to be a tree whO3e leaves were turning for the fall.
As he
approached, Karey said he saw next to the 'thing a snail 'beinj,11, less
then h feet tall, dressed In the coat. Marey said that wher. he
called, the 'beinc" turned and entered the "cachins' which rose
vertically In the air.
Marey said the machine wa3 spherical in fora, and about 3'j feet in
diameter.
Underneath the machine was a sort of spindle. r:a.ey ccid,
and between the spindle and the body of the eachir.e was a "port hole'
by which the "being" entered., A flane shot froa the spindle a= the
machine took off, Mansy said. Marey said he told his fellow workcen
.#bout the incident, and two of then returned with him to V.\c site.
All three said they found that the cra38 had turned sliGhtly milk-colored,

October.
(The first week. Exact date not known)
Patna, India.
Hindu funerals at the city of Patna were interupted when above the
vapors of the burning ghats a dark grey disc appeared. A^out 15 feet
the circular object dived to within 300 feet of the ground, its sides
smoke.
Over 800 mourners in the area at the time witnessed the UFO.

Riel, Austria,
(no time known)
In an issue of Stringfield's C.R.I.F.O. Newsletter it stated:"...police
said they received thousands of reports of luminous objects flying over the
town of Riel, Austria."
81.
October 8th. Mertrud, France,
(no time known)
"Flying red knob."
The report from Mertrud on the 8th was little bit different. A being, an
estimated four feet in height, jumped into his machine when spotted and flew
away. Larger than mostUFOsbeing reported(30 feet in diameter), the object
in question was ball-shaped, orange-colored, and sported a single leg that
protruded from the bottom. The witness called the UFO a "flying- red knob."

October 8th.
Calais, France.
(9:15 p.m.)
A domed object, bluish in color, swooped over a road, turned a white hue,
and then sped away.
October 9th.
83.
Ales, France.
(11:45 a.m.)
An employee of the Riche Hotel in Ales, France, looked up at the sky 11:45
the morning of the 9th in time to see a saucer hovering overhead, spinning on
its axis. The disc-shaped object then sped away, all the while accelerating
rapidly.
84.
'"FLYING DISKS' DRAW A JEER."
--Chicago Tribune headline.
The Air Force "disclosures" appeared on schedule on October 9th, but the
news release steered clear of any hint of Pentagon guided missile secrets or
space, visitors, instead the handout was a routine blast a.VDonald Keyhoetype believers and denying the charge the military was "hiding the truth,"
or that any menace threaten the nation:
"After a study of more than 3,500 sightings of heavenly apparitions
and other phenomena, the Air Force has found 'no authentic physical
evidence' that the eerie lights in the sky are space ships from
other planets, or secret weapons launched by the United States or
some foreign power."
85.
Desmond Leslie's October 9th disclosure.
Flying saucers under guard in hanger 27?
The Murdoc rumor again.
Those who had faith in the rumor flying saucers had landed at Muroc Air
Force base early in 1954, and that President Eisenhower had inspected the
alien craft during his Palm Springs vacation; point to another appearance of
the rumor in the Fall of 1954 that is suppose to help "confirm the truth of
23
the Muroc incident," and that some discs were "under guard in a Hanger 27
at Muroc."
If one checks out the source of this Fall 19S4 "confirmation," one finds
that it originated in the October 9, 1954 issue of Valor magazine in the
publication's feature "Saucer Symposuim" written by George Hunt Williamson.
The so-called "facts" given in Williamson's article simply consisted of the
results of "research" done by Desmond Leslie, contactee George Adamski's
co-author, during a 1954 trip to southern California. Leslie supposedly
questioned a military man that was stationed at Muroc at the time. The
military man was not named.
October 9th.
86.
Lavoux, France,
(no time known)
Another "mysterious figure in a diving suit" encountered a Frenchman on
October 9th when a farmer, on his way home on his bicycle, found the road
barred by a "bright-eyed, hairy-chested" figure wearing "boots without
heels" and a device on its chest that "beamed two headlights." 87.
October 9th.
Carcassonne, France.
(4:00 p.m.)
Four o'clock in the afternoon on the 9th a large ball-like object sat
on the shoulder of the road that ran passed the town of Carcassonne. The
bottom half of this object seemed to be made of metal, while the upper
portion was transparent. As M. Jean Bertrand approached the sphere in his
car, he could see two beings of a humanoid shape inside the UFO which rose
and then sped eastward.
October 9th.
88.
Stringfield, Col. O'Mara, and the Air Force news release.
Apparently the trouble between Leonard Stringfield and Col. O'Mara of
AT1C over their June 1954 phone conversation-had to do with the Intelli
gence Chief making remarks that were intended to prepare the U.S. public
for an official announcement about the UFO mystery by the Air Force. The
announcement was to suggest(the impression given by the colonel)advanced
American devices were probably responsible for many reports of strange
phenomena in the sky, yet Stringfield chose to stress the possibility of
the indorsement of extraterrestrial visitors when he quoted O'Mara as saying:"Flying saucers exist," and then the colonel made a cloudy statement
about an upcoming October 9th military press release of which Stringfield
quoted this portion:"(a statement)...which will explain some of the past
contradictions and release details behind many sightings."
89.
Stringfield did ask the colonel quite directly if UFOs were spaceships,
and O'Mara apparently failed to make the usual careful rejection of such a
concept, repying that the Air Force was:"...gradually getting more data."
90.
October 9th.
Pournoy-la-Chetive, France.
(6:30 p.m.)
While at play, four French children noticed an odd light.
a press account collected by Jacques Vallee says:
A quote from
"It was a round machine, about 2.5 meters in diameter, which was

lighted flashlight in his hand and it blinded us.
But we couldsee that he had large eyes, a face covered with hair and that he
was very small, about four feet tall.
He was dressed in a sort of
black sack like the cassock M. le Cure wears. He looked at us and

said something we did not understand. He turned off the flashlight.
We became afraid and ran away. When we looked back we saw something
in the sky: it was very high, very bright and flew fast." 91.
October 9th.
Rinkerode, Germany.
(Evening)
There was a lot of blue light off to one side of the road as Willi
Hoge, a movie projectionist, drove by on his way home.
His first thought
was that an airplane had come down in the area due to an emergency, but
as Mr. Hoge peered closer he discerned four small figures(about four feet
high)with big heads and chests, and small thin legs, apparently doing
some repair work(?) on a spindle-shaped machine.
All of the figures were
dressed in some sort of one-piece elastic body suit. 92.
October 9th.
Beauvain, France.
(Evening)
A speeding sphere streaked low over the treetops near Beauvian the
evening of the 9th.
Cyclist Christian Carette had the thing in view for
about ten seconds and said the ball-like object had a fiery appearance
and some sort of protruberance coming out its top portion.
Its speed
was terrific.
93.
October 9th.
Cuisy, France.
(7:20 p.m.)
Cars stopped.
A fasinating account came from Cuisy, France, the evening of the 9th
concerning unexplained engine failure and UFOs.
In this case, the vic
tims of the annoying experience were two auto mechanics, M. Andre Bartoli
and M. Jean-Jacques Lalevee.
It seems M. Bartoli was just leaving M. Lelevee's house in his car
and was backing up when, through the rear window, he saw a yellow-orange
flying cigar in the twilight.
Since his engine suddenly quit at the same
time, M. Bartoli popped open the car door and jumped out to get a better
look at the funny object passing overhead.
The thing quickly sped out of
sight in the direction of Paris to the southwest.
M. Lalevee , who was standing nearby to see his friend off, had also
spotted the UFO.
Both men exchanged opinions about the phenomenon, spec
ulating that they just witnessed a meteor crossing the heavens at a.very
low altitude.
With the sky show over, M. Bartoli returned to his car and noticed,
much to his puzzlement, that the headlights were out, and the motor in
gear but not running.
Aime Michel investigates.
UFO investigator Aime Michel somehow heard of the incident and paid a
vist to the men. Michel suggested to M. Bartoli that the shock of see
ing the UFO made him yank his foot off the accelerator stalling the en
gine, but the professional auto machanic denied he would do such a thing
for a mere light in the sky, besides the car's ignition was on and the
headlights out, indicating something very strange had occurred.
Whatever had happened, they was no permanent harm done. M. Bartoli
said he restarted the car's engine without difficulty and the headlights
went on normally.
The two mechanics wanted Michel to give his judgement on the case but
the French UFO researcher replied:"If you report this to the papers,

they'll say that a flying saucer flew over your car and stopped your motor."
94. M. Bartoli countered with:"I'11 have to see one to believe in flying
saucers." 95. Was his "flying cigar" a "saucer?" Bartoli just shrugged.
Michel ended his interview and reflected on the men's testimony.
If the
object had left the Cuisy area in a southwest direction, it must have passed
over National Road No.2(a superhighway)during the rush hour. Why hadn't
others seen the sky object? Michel learned that a mysterious sky object had
crossed the highway, apparently the cause of a rash of engine failures that
produced a big traffic jam just south of Dammartin-en-Goele. A number of
the motorists had sighted the sky object. Furthermore, west of the highway
close to the town of Dreux, some hunters had viewed a "vaguely luminous
mass" in the sky moving slowly toward the southwest.

Bel-Air, France.
(11:00 p.m.)
According to a French newspaper:
"About eleven o'clock on the night of October 8-9, 1954, M. Puygelier saw overhead near the town of Bel-Air a luminous elongated object
resembling a gigantic egg, which descended close to the ground, oscil
lated a few seconds, then landed behind a hedge near the road.
He
drove on to St. Cloud in fright, but then returned with another witness.
Where the craft had been seen, they could make out in the dark
ness a human silhouette standing motionless on the roadside. At this
place the next morning a strip of burned vegetation 3 meters long was
found, surrounded by an area where the grass was trampled." 97.

Balloons and flying saucers.
An October 10th U.S. Air Force statement released at Fort Worth, Texas,
declared:
"Any mysterious white balls or flashing lights seen "wing across
the United States from now to December 15 will have no connection
with flying saucers.
They will be 37-foot plastic balloons released
near Tracy, California, where winds from 28 to 110 miles an hour will
float them east.
Timing devices will explode the helium-filled bags
after two or three day's travel, and 300 pounds of experimental equip
ment will parachute to the ground." 100.
October 11th.
Jonzieiux, France.
(4:00 a.m.)
A milkman making his rounds at 4:00 in the morning, M. Baptiste Jourdy,
had his headlights go out and his truck's engine stop for no apparent rea
son.
Immediately thereafter a brilliant body crossed the sky beneath the
clouds at right angles to the road. Within seconds after the UFO passed
out of sight, the headlights:".. .went back on by themselves." 101.
Also,
the truck's engine turned over normally when M. Jourdy turned the key.

October 11th.
Sassier, France.
(4:15 a.m.)
Another electromagnetic incident took place 15 minutes later at Sassier
where two travelling salesmen, M. Louis Vigneron and M. Henri Gallois, en
countered a strange object and its occupants.
In M. Gallois1 words:
"I was driving in the middle of the road when suddenly near Sassier
I felt something like an electric shock through my whole body. At
the same time the car motor stopped and the lights went out.- Para
lyzed, we asked ourselves what was happening. It was then that, in
a field bordering the road about 165 feet away, we saw a round ob
ject.
Next to it we saw clearly three short beings who seemed to be
moving about quickly. Their silhouetts soon disappeared into the
saucer-like object which flew off immediately.
"Almost right away my lights went back on and we were able to drive
away."
103.
October 11th.
Bauquay, France,
(dawn)
Cows frighten.
- A big, bright, red "cigar volant" zoomed over a French farmer's field
at Bauquay in Norwandy at sunup. The farmer, and two others, watched as
the elongated object sped by at treetop level. The cows in the field went
into a panic, the bells around their necks jangling loudly as the animals
ran wild. A day later the cows still refused to give milk. 104.
"Suspicious somnolence."
Much to Leonard Stringfield's surprise, on October lith the Associated
Press contacted him about his CRIFO organization so the newsservice could
■work the information into a story about UFO reports from Cincinnati and
Germany(See newsclipping). This inquiry by AP made Stringfield wonder if
censorship of the UFO subject was disintegrating. Reflecting on the past
record of the Fourth Estate, Stringfield noted the:".. .suspicious somno
lence of Life since 1952, 'canned' editorials, and, an occasional Dr. Men-
zel yeast':pu7fed theory, viz., cobwebs, airborne lunchwrappers, phosphores
cent'bugs (no kidding)..."
105.
Stringfield remarked:"...we in 'the busi
ness' find other sources to lend us courage."
October 11th.
Cherry Valley, New York.
106.
(4:00 p.m.)
An American engineer named Abraham Cox, of Cherry Valley, N.Y., was
surprised when a grey metallic-like disc about 30 feet across came into
view. The object was not moving that fast, and it was only at a moderate
altitude, so Mr. Cox got a- good look. The object was soundless and visible
for about half a minute as it soared over Cherry Valley on a horizontal,
course.
As an engineer, Mr. Cox marvelled at the aerodynamics of a flying
craft without a tail or wings, but he had only a moment to do that because
he was abruptly distracted by a sharp movement the craft made, a shift to a
vertical position so that it "rolled through the air like a wheel." 107.

While analzying the data on the French excitement, UFO researcher Aime
Michel selected October 12th as the "zenith" of the UFO wave. Surveying
the French press, he noted that "flying saucers" had become a major daily
newsstory, with usually a half page coverage, and front page treatement
was not uncommon.
To Michel the space given the subject in the newspapers
was a measure of how the mystery had become part of the French public's
consciousness,
witnesses were
sightings on a
schizophrenia"
although he was impressed by the fact that only actual eye
"believers" while people in general preferred to blame the
psychosis, which was why professor Heuyer's "sauceritis
theory received acolades.
October 12th.
Toulouse, France.
108.
(4:00 a.m.)
Another early morning case was recorded at the Croix Durade section of
Toulouse when a luminous craft was seen taking off from a field.
of the site discovered a 50-foot area of flatten grass.
109.

Orchamps-Vennes, France,
A check
(no time known)
According to a Toulon newspaper:
"On the 12th, a curious object with four wheels was seen by Franzesko Beuc on the farm where he worked on Orchamps-Vennes; nearby
was a 5-foot helmeted being who jumped into the device, which roll
ed along the road for some distance before it gradually ascended."
110.
October 12th.
Mamora forest, Morocco,
(afternoon)
The afternoon of the 12th, as story goes, a small figure in a metalliclike suit was spotted climbing aboard a craft that quickly lifted off and
flew away. The witness to this "saucer visit" was a French engineer who
saw the four-foot-tall being while driving through Morocco's Mamora forest.
111.
October 12th.
Caracasonne, France.
(4:00 p.m.)
According to the newspaper La Charente Libre:
"About four o'clock in the afternoon M. Jean Bertrand, a mechanic
of Carcasonne, saw a spherical object flying at low altitude.
Its
lower part seemed to be made of shinning metal and the upper part
of plastic. He said that he could see two human forms inside the
machine before it disappeared at high speed toward the east." 112.
October 12th.
Sainte-Marie d'Herblay, France.
(10:30 p.m.)
"Gilbert's hoax."
In the Atlantic seacoast town of Sainte-Marie d' Herblay there lived
thirteen-year-old Gilbert Lelay, a lad with considerable imagination. On
the 12th of October this youth told authorities he had come across an odd
machine- resting in a pasture, a sort of "phosphorescent cigar," and next
to it was a man who came up to Gilbert and said(in French it is assumed)
it was permitted to observe but not to touch anything. The man did not
stay long, but before he left in the machine, Gilbert noticed that" in
the man's hand was a glowing sphere that sent out shafts of purple light.
As the door on the cigar-shaped machine opened and closed, Gilbert got a
glimpse, he said, of a console covered with colored lights. When the odd
craft vaulted into the sky, it performed two loops.
113.
42
After inquiries were made, Gilbert's claim was determined to be bogus,
but that did not discourage the boy who was associated with another false
report on the 16th at Erbray.
114.
UFO wave hits northern Italy:
On October 12 and 13, 1954, people in at least 15 sections of the Po
River Valley reported UFOs. No more detail is known.
October 14th(9th).
Teheran, Iran.
"Attempted abduction?"
When the southern shift of the 1954 wave hit Iran, very strange stories
came out of that country, one of which excites modern day UFO researchers.
Gordon Creighton, to whom the UFO community owes a great debt because of
his many translations of foriegn news accounts, managed to acquire an Eng
lish version of an article in Teheran's principle newspaper Ettela'at that
gives us some fasinating information:
"A few days ago, one of our correspondents reported from Mahallat
that a marvellously luminous object had landed near there and that
many farmers had been impressed by its strange and colourful appear
ance.
It was hemispherical in form, and emitted multi-coloured
beams of light.
"It only landed for a brief period, and in the meantime more and
more of the country folk were crowding near to look at it, but no
body would go too close to it, so great was their fear.
"The central part of the object was of metal and less bright than
the rest.
"Miile the crowd of people was growing larger and larger, the object
suddenly shot straight upwards into the sky and vanished.
The affair
has provoked great discussion among the populace.
"Following upon this report, we then received another one from a
resident of Shamsabad who walked into our editorial offices this morn
ing and stated that at 6:30 a.m. yesterday(October 14th), just as he
was coming out of his house, he saw a luminous object resembling a
brightly shining star. It was at a distance of about 100 meters from
him, and he estimated its length as about five meters. He had already
heard of flying saucers, and at once realised that this was one. Ap
proaching more closely, he perceived a 'short young man1 standing on
a circular piece of metal in the middle of the radiant obj ect and
looking around him searchingly.
"The witness was now only twenty meters from the saucer and could
see that the pilot was laughing at the terrified expression on his
face; Suddenly however the machine shot up into the air at an un
believable speed and vanished.
"The following episode occurred in Amireah Street, here in Tehran.
"A Mr. Ghaseme Fili, who lives in that street, informs us that at
2:30 a.m. last Friday(October 8th), he being at that time on the
second floor of his house, he saw a luminous white flying object
which became stationary at a distance of about twenty meters from
him. Lights were shining from the rear end of the object and from
its sides.

A diver of small stature with a larga h**d in coa^jarlson to his body, anJ
two enormous eyes, was described Wednesdaynigntby Ifr. divier, an inhabitant

of Toulouse.
This mysterious pilot alighted frqji a spherical craft which

acconr.nil»(l by an employee,- Mr. Perano and by- a young boy "of about 15 years

A31 three of tlism saw the luminous craft land and noticed that it

"tne of them, the "diver", sparkled like class, according to the
tncsees.

Mr. Olivier, a veteran aviation pilot, drew the diver on a door in a
very impressive -ranner.
Kr. Perano added, "I didn't believe it, but I
saw him just as wll as I see you.
That gave me a darn shock."
After a short while, approximately one minute, the "diver" reached
the luminous sphere which took him away in a vertical ascent without noi3e,
and disappeared in the sky at a terrific speed, leaving a streak of fire.
Due to darkness, the investigation could not be undertaken until
Thursday morning.
Oily traces have been found at various spots at the
"unidentified area".
One of the witnesses alleged'that the flying saucer was surrounded by
irrl<*tescent reflections and emitted around Itself a slight fo».

'' Tha military commander (governor) of liets studies the

craft, which appeared during a three-hour period in the beam of a powerful

It can be very well imagined,*
with what care and caution the Conmander of the JTAA has edited this report.
Commander Cottel was in charge of the radar post, installed at the army
stand of the Commercial Fair at Mots which Just closed.
This post had a
powerful searchlight which swept Jthe sky over the city during the fair.

"Inside the object he could see what appeared to be a small man
dressed in black clothing and wearing on his head a strange mask
shaped like the trunk of an elephant.
Said Mr. Fili:'I was stand
ing, with both hands on the bar of my balcony, looking with astonish
ment at this strange object, when I suddenly felt as though I were
being drawn up towards the obj ect as though by a magnet.'
"Mr. Fili cried out in terror and awakened the neighbours. Mean
while, the luminous object shot straight up into the sky and vanish
ed in the twinkling of an eye.
It emitted sparks as it rose up.
"While the foregoing reports were being assembled, we received a
visit this morning from a resident of Salsabil Street, also in this
Capital. Very worried and frightened, this man told us that this
Morning (October 15th), as he opened his front door, he saw a pale
coloured cigar-shaped object moving slowly through the sky. As it
changed direction, he saw multi-coloured flashes of light come from
both sides of it."
115.
Mr. Fili's remark about being "drawn upward by an invisible force" has
caught the eye of UFO researchers doing work on modern cases. It seemed
to suggest that similar statements made by "UFO abduction victims" may be
a real part of the UFO mystery, seeing as how this supposed 1954 incident .
was recorded long before the abduction phenomenon became recognized.
Paralysis phenomenon.
October 14th.
Manosque, France,
(no time known)
A mystery object was encountered by a hunter, a M. Masses, who immedi
ately backed away, but his dog became agressive and charged the object. The
animal suddenly became semi-paralysed and struggled back to his master. 116.
October 14th.
Witness:Flight-Lieutenant James R. Salandin.
Unit:County of Middlesex Squadron,Royal Auxiliary Air Force.
Aircraft:Gloster 8 jet fighter.
Time:Shortly after 4:15 p.m.
A pilot in the British military reserve, Lt. Salandin was on a training
flight the afternoon of October 14th for what promised to be a routine ex
ercise.
Weather conditions were excellent as he flew his jet south from
North Weald Field, Essex, to an area over the Thames Estuary, Two other
meteor'jets were visible high above in the clear blue sky as Lt. Salandin
put his aircraft in a climb to reach their altitude. Climbing passed
16,000 feet and with the city of Southend below him, Lt. Salandin suddenly
spotted three round objects, one gold and the other two silver-colored, as
they sped across the sky high on his port beam. He was startled to see
one of the silver circular objects tum and head straight for him at tre
mendous speed. The object approached so close it nearly filled his plane's
windscreen, but at the last second it veered to one side, avoiding a fatal
collision.
The near-miss, as one can imagine, was such a shock Lt. Sal
andin did not really recover his composure for at least ten minutes, the
Air Reservist flying slowly all that time and not attempting any maneuvers.
The object was certainly a type of "flying saucer," with an unmarked sur
face, a "bun-shaped top and bottom," separated in the middle by a flange.
The only regret the pilot had was that things happened too fast for him to
think about pushing the gun-camera button.
With the "saucer" coming with
in an estimated 300 yards, the film images could have been remarkable.

Lt. Salandin made a radio report of the sighting and upon landing he also
informed the Squadron Intelligence officer, a certain Derek Dempster, who

Ministry.

A curious fact about the Lt. Salandin case that took place in the.

experienced on the ground at Southend(The reader is referred to the case

Hobbs, New Mexico.
(8-9:20 p.m.)
"Lubbock Lights?"
One of the few U.S. reports made in October was submitted by amateur
astronomer R.S. Fleming, who witnessed a series of five manifestations
during the tine period of 8-9:20 p.m. at
Hobbs, New Mexico.
What gave
S3
the sightings special significance was their similarity to the famous
"Lubbock Lights" of the summer of 1951, and the little-known formations
of lights reported over El Paso, Texas, on September 14, 1952.
The first appearance of something strange was noticed at 8:00 p.m. as
Mr. Fleming was setting up his small telescope for an evening of astrononmical observations. A formation of lights in a half circle, bisected by
a straight line, swept out of the northeast, passed silently overhead at an
estimated 5,000 feet altitude, and then disappeared to the southwest. So
puzzled was Mr. Fleming (he claimed great familiarity with jets), he summon
ed his wife and daughter to be additional witnesses.
After a wait of about 10 minutes, another "half circle" of soft lights
soared across the sky. These "Hobbs lights" were either individual glow
ing bodies themselves, or weak points of light on a large craft too dark to
discerned, because the witnesses could not see an outline or a surface be
tween the lights.

The phenomenon moved too quickly to bring the telescope
-
•
Stargazer Fleming,guessed that the formations were moving "twice the
speed of a jet,"and spanned a distance "twice that of America's huge B-36
bomber."
There were a total of five overflights at altitudes Fleming guessed were
from 5,000 to as low as 2,000 feet. All were the same save the last one at
9:20 p.m. when a half circle consisting of three rows of lights sweet over
head.

It would be hasty to classify the Hobbs case as a "true" UFO sighting
without checking the possibility there was some unusual military aircraft
traffic that particular evening, but since it might help explain the famous
"Lubbock Lights" of 1951, it is being included.

"What scared Miss Hennessey?"
The fullest account of Miss Hennessey's experience is to be found in the
files of the now defunct News Chronicle of South-on-Sea, England:
"Twenty-three-year-old Patricia Hennessey is scared. She is con
vinced that she has seen a flying saucer --on the ground. It ter
rified her and sent her running home trembling with fear. At first
she would not talk about it, but gradually her family and friends
persuaded her to tell what she saw.
"Miss Hennessey was walking in Park Lane, Southend, on her way
home to nearby Chase Road on Thursday night (October 14th) night
when she was confronted by 'The Thing.' She said:'Suddenly some
thing made me look up.- In the road five yards away by the Kerbside was a silvery object about 12 ft. high. It was doomed and
cylindrical --about 10 ft. across. A pipe, the thickness of a human
body and rather like a gas mask tube came from inside The Thing. It
was attached down one side, and went back in again at the bottom.
It had no legs or wheels. There were no markings. It seemed as
though The Thing had a pale light shimmering from inside.

October 15th.
Hungary,
122.
(early morning)
An article in the Hungarian weekly Tukor does not provide much of a
UFO report by most standards but it did indicate "UFO hysteria" had pene
trated the Iron Curtain:
"Early on the morning of 15th October. 1954 a shining object sped
through the sky westwards, watched by hundreds of thousands of people,
most of whom still think today that they saw a flying saucer.
About
1,500 people wrote down their findings in response to an appeal from
the astronomical observatory 'Urania'--and here we come up against
the disconcerting riddle that no two of their reports appear to be
alike; according to the reports 1,500 people have obviously seen as <
many different objects. Fortunately a completely objective 'witness'
was found--in the form of a camera. A teacher from the province of
Gyor-Sopron photographed the object twice. By means of this, toget
her with reports from reliable witnesses, the people at the observa
tory were able to establish that the object was big, shining and red
dish in colour--it could well have been a small comet--and that it
went through the sky at a speed of 40 km per second along a path
Amsterdam-Athens. This comet only went through the uppermost layer
of the earth's atmosphere before continuing its journey round the
sun after a slight alteration of orbit. This case demonstrates that
anybody not versed in astronomy and mechanics is not suited to dis
cuss such a phenomenon, even through he tries to be objective. The
phenomenon flew or moved at a distance of 1,000 km from the obser
vers and at a height of at least 200 km. Its speed was of a cosmic
order yet not one of the eyewitnesses noticed these essential facts
--everybody thought the object was much closer and moving like an
aircraft."

October 15th.
Boaria, Rorigo, Italy,
(no time known)
Things really got wild in Italy if our information is correct, for it
seems an Italian farmer by the name of Antonia Grepaldi had an "aerial
visitor" that did much more than just make an appearance. Grepaldi, whose
farm is about 50 miles from Italy's major city in the Po River Valley, the
metropolitan area of Milan; was near his farmhouse watering some of his
cows at a small pond when a big "dark egg-like body" came into view, giving
off blue-silver sparks, tongues of blue and yellow flame, and intense heat.
Swooping low over the farmhouse, the "flying egg" spooked the cows, the ani
mals stampeding in confusion.
In the turmoil Grepaldi's 9-year-old daugh
ter was knocked to the ground. With his child injured, Grepaldi panicked
and ran indoors where he promptly fainted.
Meanwhile,the big ovoid sped away, travelling at an altitude of about 45
feet, but even at that low height the strange object was spotted by at least
three other people in the area, and it apparently was so low it Droduced an
effect felt at-ground level. As the UFO passed over some haystacks, the
straw burst into flame. Other indications that the UFO radiated heat was
that the small pond in Grepaldi's barnyard lost all its water and some of
man's cows standing nearby suffered bums.

A big red-glowing ball came down out of the sky and touched down only
150 feet from M. Damien Figueres who was out walking his dogs.
To M.
Figueres' great astonishment, a figure, dressed in a suit a deep sea diver
might wear, stepped out of the luminous sphere, walked around it, and then
climbed back aboard. As M. Figueres' dogs barked at the strange object,
it sailed away.

Po-di-Gnocca, Italy,
(afternoon)
A flying disc made a brief touchdown, shooting vertically after a moment
or two at rest.
This was witnessed by farmers in the in the area.
What sets this case apart were the "traces" left behind, primarily a gap
ing hole 20 feet in diameter, the earth ripped upward by some powerful force
as if by a giant vacuum! Ragged clods of dirt were scattered about and a
half dozen popular trees next to the big hole showed burned marks.
As with the October 4th Poncey case when a big hole was apparently creat
ed by a UFO, authorities showed an interest in the apparent "solid'evidence"
at Po di Gnocca and made inquiries.

Nairobi Reuters dispatch:"Saucers from space."
With little saucer activity in the U.S. during time period, there was not
much for Donald Keyhoe to do except discuss with his friend Frank Edwards
rumors about possible Mars discoveries after a recent planetary study by
the world's top astronomers. There was one stargazer in particular that
pleased Keyhoe, the vice-president of the Kenya Astronomical Association G.
Duncan Fletcher. Keyhoe read a Reuters dispatch in the Chicago Tribune
that could have been a quote from one of his books:
"From all the information available they are steadily mapping every
part of our earth.
"Reports have been made by observers who have seen these unidentified
flying objects over atomic plants, dock yards, airfields, naval bases,
and some of the larger cities of the world. Their approach to us is,I
suggest, similar to what our own approach would be if the boot were on
the other foot. Suppose we were to visit Venus. I do not think that
we would land until we had made every possible investigation.
"The obvious thing is that we should map, photograph, and if possible
carry out a thorough investigation before we wantonly risked life by
hasty landing.
It is not unreasonable therefore that whatever controls
the UFO's is doing exactly that."

Jacques Vallee received a letter from a young(22) Frenchman by the name
of Guy Puyfourcat who" felt compelled to share his UFO experience'.
Like the majority of French cases, the incident occurred in a rural sett
ing with M. Puyfourcat leading a horse by a bridle down a country lane.
It
was fortunate that the young man was not mounted on the animal because for
no apparent reason the mare became nervous. At the same time a gray-color
ed object about four feet in diameter rose up from a spot close by and then
moved toward the man and horse, passing above them. As the object passed ■_
over, an astonishing thing happened.
The horse was pulled upward, at least
nine feet, so high M. Puyfourcat let go of the bridle. The horse then fell
back to earth and lay motionless for a minute or two, and whether the ani
mal was stunned by the fall or some sort of paralytic effect, is not known,
but the mare recovered slowly, its walk unsteady when it regained its feet.
M. Puyfourcat felt nothing during the incident.
October 16th.
Baillolet, France,

Missing time?
Another motorist, this time a veterinary surgeon by the name of Dr. Henri
Robert, sped along Route N314, passing the village of Baillolet, and at that
point the doctor sighted an echelon formation of strange objects moving at a
slow speed across the sky. One of the objects suddenly left the formation
and lost altitude, plunging earthward in a "dead leaf fashion, coming to
rest about 100 yards from Dr. Robert's car. The surgeon felt an "electric
shock" and his car's motor started to act up. The headlights went out and
the motor died completely.
As the vehicle rolled to a stop, Dr. Robert,
who could not move by this time, noticed a little figure about three feet in
height moving in the vicinity of the object that had landed. After that, he
.felt strange and "all went dark." The next thing he remembered is the head
lights of his car coming on by themselves and seeing the UFO lifting off and
speeding away in a northern direction. Feeling now returned to Dr. Henri
body.
l£.
Was there "missing time" in this case? It is interesting to note that
this incident was not "recalled at a later date." Dr. Robert's story was
printed in the newspaper Paris-Presse on October 19, 1954.

Slow meteor?
(9:00-9:30 p.m.)
At 9:00 p.m. a mystery object was seen streaking over the Belgian towns
of Arlon, Martelange, and Sibret.
It left a luminous trace across the sky.
At 9:15 p.m. some people at Waremme, which included two constables, saw
a red trail in the heavens.
At 9:30 p.m. a "saucer-shaped" object spewing luminous smoke appeared in
the air over Turnout.
136.
Dompirre, France.
(9:45 p.m.)
A close approach of a glowing yellow "craft," some 60 feet wide and 6
feet high, was claimed by two Frenchmen, one was a M. Laolotre and the other
was a M. Deschamp. The men said the object hovered within a dozen feet of
the ground for about four minutes.
137.
More "meteor" sightings.
(9:22 p.m.-9:45 p.m.)
Something was seen high in the sky over the Italian cities of Milan and
Turin about 9:22 p.m.
59
At 9:25 p.m. residents of Salins, France, noticed something coming out
of the southeast sky from the direction of northern Italy. As the thing
passed overhead it appeared as a dull-glowing lenticular sHape trailing a
luminous stream of smoke. Moments later the lenticular body passed over
the cities of Dole and Montmirey still on a northwest trajectory. The
elongated form was then spotted at Damparis and Dijon.
The object was at
a high altitude since observers some distance to the right and left of
the object's course could see the thing travel from horizon to horizon.
At 9:35 p.m., continuing in a straight line, the lenticular body ap
peared over Paris, causing some concern at Orley airport which put all
air traffic on hold while the phenomenon was in sight. Some people in
the French capital claimed they saw the object come to a stop while
others even asserted the object made a turn to the west.
The French Air Force Inquiry Commission looked into the case and con
cluded that a "slow meteor" was responsible, and that those who said they
had seen a course change had merely suffered from an optical illusion. To
explain the duration of the object's passage, the French Commission sug
gested that witnesses' timepieces were not set properly.
Amie Michel thought more of the case than the military because he had
knowledge of a sighting near St. Malo, a town that lies west of Paris on
the coast of Brittany. The time of this sighting was not known but there
may have been a connection with the "slow meteor."
What was seen at St.
Malo, however, did not resemble the supposed meteor. According to the
witness two objects raced across the sky and a third object was seen in
tercepting the first two at a right angle. This new formation of three
objects sped away leaving a thin vapor trail behind them. 138.
"Gigantic luminous object."
There is no alinement with the "slow meteor," but during the same time
period,. 9:30 p.m. to 9:45 p.m., a spectacular sky show was taking place
over the French Pyrenees village of Beless where 50 people; including a
Dr. Millet, President of the Aviation Club of Lavelanet; witnessed a "gi
gantic luminous object" perform a series of fantastic maneuvers while it
emitted smoke.

Toulon, France,

"Je suis Francaise."
One UFO researcher asked if a "Martian" was attempting to masquerade
as a Frenchman when he heard the story of cafe owner Alphonse Rapellini
who phoned the Toulon police to say a domed flying saucer landed nearby
and its pilot had asked for directions. Before leaving, the pilot told
M. Rapellini:"I am not a Martian, I'm French(Je suis Francaise)"
October 17th.
Varigney, France.
141.
(8:30 p.m.)
It was a red glowing hemispherical machine that came down to a landing
near Rt. D-10, a road that passed through the village of Varigney. The
object was so obvious, parked as it was on a slight rise in the ground,
several motorists stopped to gape. M. Barret, a crossing guard, a cafe
owner named Beauclair and his daughter Jeanne, were among the witnesses
that gathered at the spot to stare at the mysterious object.

Craziness in the U.S.
The Detroit Flying Saucer Club convened group discussions in late October,
engaging in chatter that ranged over science, religion, and what the FBI's
self-appointed informant described as "double-talk," however the organiza
tion's Vice-president tried to provide a focus by announcing there might be
mass landings in October in Detroit, that one such landing had already taken
place at 4:30 a.m. the morning of September 30th when some strange greenish
men in brown uniforms had landed at Rotunda Drive and Southfield on the out
skirts of the city. The informant was highly suspious of the announcement,
particularly after group discussion leaders(he had been appointed one) were
given official instructions on how to guide club members in their thinking,
to:"...indoctrinate club members to receive the space visitors." 143.
One can imagine what this self-appointed FBI spy thought. He probably
believed he was preparing the way for a secret Russian commando raid!

confronting a thick-set creature, about three feet tall and wearing a helmet.
The creature, they said, had unforgettable glowing orange-colored eyes.
Four other people in the area made independent observations of a UFO in
the general area at the time.
October 18th.

Royan, France.
(9:00 p.m.)
"Luminous bridge."
A pair of UFOs flew over a busy French highway, Route N150, at 9:00 p.m.
October 18th. The two UFOs seemed to be connected by a "luminous bridge"
according to those who paid attention.
Two witnesses, whether they were
motorists is not given in the account, M. and Mme. Labassiere, said they
observed the pair of objects set down in a field where two "drawf-like"
beings emerged, one from each craft.
The beings re-entered different ob
jects, giving the impression the ships had landed with the purpose of ex
changing personnel. After this "switch," the two UFOs zoomed away, and
while doing so, emitted a tremendous flash.
148.
Coral Lorenzen's source is more descriptive, saying that the objects
were flat, like pans, and that the overall impression of the arrangement
was like that of a balance with one "pan" orange and the other red.
The "bridge" was a luminous green beam of light.
The entire apparition swayed
or bounced as it moved toward the ground.

Capri, Italy,
(evening)
"Four drawfs in coveralls."
♦-
An Italian named Raffaele Castello believed at first he was seeing a
helicopter when an object made a slow descent on Cape Massulo, a part of
sea coast near Capri. While walking toward the landed object, it quickly
became apparent to Castello the thing was no aircraft, but a mysterious
disc-shaped body about 15 feet in diameter.
At that point he saw something even more astonishing.
Four drawf-sized
figures dressed in coverall-type clothing stepped out of the disc and re
mained in the area for at least 30 minutes (what transpired during this
half hour is not mentioned).
Afterward the beings re-entered their ship
and flew away, their machine emitting blue sparks and making a low whirring
noise.

October 18th.
Gells(Puy-de-Dome), France.
(5:30p.m.)
MISSING TIME?
Quite possibly the most important case of the great flap was the ex
perience of a 42-year-old village policeman named Monsieur Bachelard. His
"missing time" seems to vailadate sensational reports made decades later.
If so, the implications are enormous.
In circumstances similar to many others of this period, M. Bachelard
encountered, he said, a strange object while driving a vehicle.
Taking the
road to Gelles after leaving the village of Chanat, the policeman drove his
light van passed the Chambois turnoff and entered a wooded stretch of road.
He then noticed something positioned next to the road which at first he be
lieved was some sort of cistern.
A press account states:
"I realised later that it wasn't precisely a cistern, for its two
ends were pointed, like a cigar.
It was of a chocolate-brown
66
colour and had rectangular markings which criss-crossed its two ends.
It may well have been ten meters long and about 2H meters high.
I
heard no sound from the machine, but merely felt this indescribable
fear." 151.
At that moment the van's engine started to misfire and steering became
difficult. Shortly thereafter he began to have physical trouble, finding
himself in a semi-paralyzed condition. Another word used in the account
was "hypnotised." Here there is a puzzling gap in M. Bachelard's memory, a
period of "missing time."
The very next thing the policeman recalled was that he was entering the
village of Coheix in his van, but why he had taken a road off his usual
route and what had happened since his encounter with the "cigar," was a
total blank.
M. Bachelard immediately approached some Cohiex farmers and tried to ex
plain his situation. The peasants were impressed by the "pale and drawn"
appearance of Bachelard and were convinced enough to shoulder their pitch
forks and returned with the policeman to the site of the encounter ready to
do battle if the need arose.
There was no strange object at the spot when
the men arrived but an hour had passed, giving the thing plenty of time to
escape.
Those who knew M. Bachelard described the fellow as a stable person, not
the nervous or timid type, which is logical considering the man's occupat
ion, yet the encounter had a powerful effect on the man.
For a long time M.
Bachelard was afraid to venture outdoors after dark and he refused to go
anywhere near the area of his mysterious experience.
152.
"Monkey spacemen."
A London newspaper made an interesting suggestion on October 18th when it
published the opinion that since monkeys were being outfitted with oxygen
masks and helmets and sent up as passengers in cosmic ray balloons, perhaps
these simian test pilots were somehow responsible for the little saucer men
reports., 153.
(Decades later an American General suggested that the furor
over the July 1947 Roswell incident might have been the result of confusion
over dead monkeys killed after their balloon came down in the New Mexican
desert. The monkey balloon flights of the late 40s were conducted under the
codename BLOSSCM).
October 18th.
Fontenay-Forcy, France.
[8:40 p.m.)
"Mass sighting."
A reddish blob swooped down on a couple near Fontenay-Forcy, landing be
hind some shrubbery that screened it from view.
The man and woman rushed
to the place where the object should be, and, to their great surprise, came
face-to-face with a figure, three feet tall, wearing a helmet through which
recorded. The mysterious aerial aerial object was reported in the area by
four independent witnesses. Another group at Sanson-la-Poterie sighted a
strange object flying away from the supposed landing site at great speed.
154.
October 18th.
Doube, France.
(10:45 p.m.)
"Little folk."
A Frenchwoman named Marie-Louise Bourriot was riding a motorcycle on
67
Route N437 that runs along the shore of Lake St. Point near the city of Doube
when she noticed that the road ahead was lit up by a powerful red glow. There
was no immediate concern about the phenomenon since it appeared to be about
200 yards away and might, she thought, have something to do with normal traf
fic, but as she approached the old abandoned La Cascade a figure about four
feet tall, wearing a "dark coat,"could be seen on a path. Next to this figure
were two shorter figures, very dark, that crossed in front of the car at a dis
tance of about 30 feet. The frighten woman accelerated passed the spot and a
short time later glanced back and saw a red oval object shooting upward. 15S.
Authorities searched the area the following day and found small foot
prints in the field and sane suspicious "furrows" in the earth.
156.
U.S. Air Force BLUE BOOK advisor Dr. J. Allen Hynek, in his study of the
French UFO flap, noted:
"....there was no mechanism whatever to handle them.
No scientist
would touch this tricky subject, and thier official Air Force team
began sorting reports by tossing out the 'obviously incredible reDort.'
They latched onto those cases in which they could forsee a
natural explanation, a most human and understandable reaction."
157.
The situation reminded Dr. Hvnek of a problem that faced French science
experts a century earlier:
"This French wave of stories is reminiscent of another wave of strange
stories of stones that fell from heaven.
Persistent stories came in, ,,
in waves, from time to time, of stones that fell from the sky.
Now,
how credulous can one get --stones falling from the sky, indeed!
"But in due course the French Academy of Sciences appointed a commit
tee to study the subject, and after a full examination of the stories,
reported back to the Academy that there was nothing to it --the stones
in question had not fallen from the sky but had been hit by lightning!
This despite their much greater density and obvious difference from sur
rounding stones. When a group of people don't want to admit something,
there's nothing quite as hard headed as a scientific committee, on which
each man has his scientific reputation to protect and going out on a
limb is certainly not the way to do it.
"The great irony of it --and I choose the word irony with care --came
just a few years later when the little town of L' Aigle, France, was
literally peppered with iron meteorites.
This time the French scientest Biot alone undertook the investigation, and in the face of incon
trovertible evidence he and his colleagues finally were convinced.
Since the year 1803 a meteorite can land in France with the full per
mission of the French Academy of Sciences." 158.
Jet chase.
Leonard Stringfield informed his C.R.I.F.O. Newsletter readers that on
October 19th:"Two French Air Force jets chased a 'white disc giving out white,
red, and violet light,' near Avignon, but it moved away before the pilots
could identify it."
159.
A collective generic family?
The following could have been included in any part of this 12 month period
since the date is unknown. One afternoon in 1954, most probably during the
Fall UFO wave, a UFO was supposed to have been photographed by a Frenchman
while it sailed over Rouen, France.
The picture- is important.because UFO ex-
68
pert Allan Hendry charged that UFOs, as reported by various witnesses, lack
ed any indication of a "collective generic family," which is to say objects
being seen by people don't really resemble one another. This lack did not
make sense to Hendry unless all UFOs were due to fantasy, hoaxes, or misperceptions. We could argue the point, but it is just being mentioned as a way
to introduce the Rouen photograph which bears such a strikingly compatible
profile with the famous 1950 Mc.innville, Oregon, picture.
(See illustra
tion) .
Unfortunately the pilot that took the Rouen photograph chose to re
main anonymous which reduces the value of the case. 160.
Before we leave this subject, we might ponder some remarks by Mr. Adrian
Vance, West Coast Editor of Popular Photography and author of UFOs, The Ey£
And The Camera:
"The McMinnville photograph had achieved such notoriety, exemplified
by a full page picture in Life magazine, that the members of the Condon
Committee could not overlook it without showing their hand, but an ob
scure foreign pilot whose picture had appeared in a few European papers
could be ignored.
And he was." 161.
And:"The Condon Committee was certainly capable of tracing this man and
could guarantee him anonymity, but no such attempt was made!" 162.
More from Stringfield:
"In Florence, Italy, a 13-year-old boy reported an object 'whirling
like a top' over the city.
And from the Swiss border town of hiino
comes the report of a slivery object flying at great speed.
witnesses said it made noise." 163.
Many
The shift south.
Avignon is in southern France, that, and the fact there was an increase
in sightings coming from Italian territory while French reports were beginn
ing to abate, shows the southern shift in operation.
October 19th.
Livorno, Italy,
(no time known)
A pair of UFOs trailing smoke were suppose to have dived down to a land
ing near Bruno Senesi, a fellow who claimed he saw some diminutive red
beings jump out of the UFO and run towards him.
Senesi fled the area as
quickly as he could as the creatures gave chase.
This story may or may not
have a particle of truth but authorities said the man hadbeen admitted to a
hospital in a hysterial condition, screaming and shaking.
164.
October 19th.
Gorizia, Italy.
(7:20 p.m.)
A bit different was the story told by a Filippo Corridoni who said he
saw something near the Isonzo River, what looked to be a balloon at ground
level, its low altitude apparently due to its half-inflated condition. He
also saw close to the balloon a "flying saucer" about 30 feet wide resting
on a kind of frame work(tri-pod landing gear?).
The "saucer" was white in
color and was topped with a portholed dome.
Bluish-white light showed
through some of the ports.
Abruptly this light was switched off and the
object zoomed away, spinning on its axis.
The balloon left with the cir
cular craft, either being towed or sucked along by air pressure.
165.
October 19th.
Fabriano, Italy.
(9:30 p.m.)
"Dhano da skgyay o dbano."
The words mentioned above were attributed to two "robot-like" figures that
were suppose to have emerged from an 18rfoot-wide saucer that gave off violet
flashes of energy.
The "robots," with strange red eyes, did not hang around

Raon L'Etage, France.
(2:30 a.m.)
In the dead of the night a Czech living in France, M. Lazlo Cyvari, claim
ed he had encountered a rature human-like saucer pilot near his home in Raon
L'Etage. The stranger, Cyvari said, wore a helmet like that worn by motor
cyclist and a gray jacket decorated with insignia. The heavy-set pilot show
ed a gun and conversed in Russian, wanting to know which country he had land
ed in.
The UFO pilot then left in a machine -that looked like two big saucers
placed rim to rim.

Russian, British, or ?
Evidently the Czech fellow wanted people to think Stalin's boys were tres
passing on NATO territory, however that clashed with the opinion of the
noted Italian airman Signor Manor Lualdi who was quoted by the press as say
ing: "If I had to bet on the origin of the saucers, I would say they are Bri

A number of Frenchmen watched several UFOs in the sky over St. Valery En
Caux for two hours. The objects went through various maneuvers but unfor
tunately this activity was not recorded. One of the objects was said to have
given off a brilliant glare as it came down in a pasture.
Two other objects were seen emitting "light signals," at least that was
the impression the observers on the ground had. One of the French witnesses,
M. Michele Vitkosusky, thought the objects were "communicating with each
other."

Truck driver Jean Schoubrenner noticed that the road ahead was lit up by
a bright glow as he drove along Route N393 near the village of Turquenstein.
As his truck approached the area of radiant energy, M. Schoubrenner could
see that the lumination was coining from a big "inverted cone-shaped object
that was glowing all over. At the top of the object was a yellow-orange tip.
As his vehicle approached within 30 feet of the object, Schoubrenner felt
paralyzed and an increase in heat the closer he got. Much to his relief, the
object moved away in a northwest direction and with its departure the high
temperature in the truck cab dropped to normal and feeling returned to his
arms and legs.

A
beam of light, like a headlight, shone out from the dark mass. A man on a
bicycle rode up. Apparently in reaction, the object sped out of sight.

Parravicino D"Erba, Italy,
(night)
"Attacked by a little man with a ray gun."
Renzo Pugina put his car in the garage, locked it up, and then walked to
ward his front door, a bunch of keys in his right hand.
Everything seemed
normal to Senor Pugina as he strolled across the yard until he spotted a
small, strange figure standing next to a tree with a "gun?" pointed at him.
The figure was a "little man" about four tall and dressed in" a glowing suit
of some sort. Suddenly a beam of energy was directed at Senor Pugina and he
felt "frozen" to the spot.
Exerting himself to the utmost, Senor Pugina
fought the paralysis but could only manage to move some fingers, closing his
fist around his keys. Grasping the keys very hard, Pugina felt himself
breaking free of the power that held him hostage(there may Ve a scientificclue here if the story is true), and enraged by being "shot," rushed at his
assailant but his advance was thwarted when the diminutive figure rose up
wards out of reach without much effort. That the little man utilised some
machanical aid to defy gravity was indicated by a barely audible whirring
noise as the being lifted off. What happened next is not recorded.
•»A police investigation discovered a spot oil at the location that may
have had some connection with the incident, but there was no mention of any
test results.
Senor Pugina complained that after the encounter he ran a
temperature and suffered from shock.

"DOG VICTIM OF A FLYING SAUCER."
The Swansea, England, Western Mail used the headline above to tell the
tale of a canine fatality at a small town in Italy near Naples.
At a place named Puzzuoli, the story says, there was a rubber factory,
and some of the workers there were standing outside the building where
they had a view of the sky.
These men sighted something strange in the
air above them so they stopped what they were doing to stare. With the
workers was a Pekingese dog.
The Mail reported:"They and the dog saw a silver object stop in mid-air
for fifteen seconds, and then rise vertically with a hissing sound.
The
Pekingese, they said, yelped at the apparition, then dropped dead." 174.

Melito, Italy,
(no time known)
Authorities were informed by a young Italian man he had encounted an un
usual flying craft in a field outside of Melito. A rustling sound, he said,
drew his attention to an area where a strange object rested. The object
gave off a powerful light consisting of bronze-green rays.
Illuminated by
the light, the young Italian could see an "occupant" of the craft emerge.
The figure was dressed in a "diving suit." A dog in neighborhood began to
bark violently which apparently scared the "saucer man" because he quickly
retreated back inside his craft and left in a hurry.

An "egg1 15 feet in diameter came in for a landing on a road near Pons

The Roestenberg case.
October 21st.
Ranton village, Staffordshire, England.
(4:45 p.m.)
A tremendous hissing, like water being poured on a hot stove, rent the air
over the white washed brick cottage of Jessie Roestenberg the afternoon of
October 21st. Her small home was Sj miles from the town of Stafford, Eng
land.
There were no immediate neighbors which was unfortunate because of
what she was later to tell authorities.
According to her story, her two boys, eight-year-old Anothony and sixyear-old Ronald, were outside playing while she was working in the kitchen.
The boys suddenly became so excited Mrs. Roestenberg went outside to deter
mine the cause. To her astonishment she saw that a "flying saucer"-was
hovering low in the sky over the cottage, a disc of an aluminum color that
reflected brilliantly in the sun's rays, nonetheless it was so close Mrs.
Roestenberg could see considerable detail. The bottom section of the object
was stationary, and just above that was a section that was revolving. The
upper portion was a stationary dome with two big "windows." The disc was
tilted at an angle, she said, enabling her to get a good look through the
transparent panels.
It also enabled "those inside" to regard her better.
She claimed there were two beings, clearly visible, gazing down at her with
stern, compassionate," expressions. UFO book author Gavin Gibbons inter
viewed Mrs. Roestenberg and he wrote:
"She recalls that they looked very like Earthly men, with white skins
.%. and long hair down to their shoulders. Their foreheads seemed immense
ly high, with the features almost entirely in the bottom half of their
faces. „ Their heads were enclosed in what appeared to be some sort of
transparent helmet and they were dressed in clothes of turquoise blue
that resembled ski suits that Mrs. Roestenberg had seen." 177.
The family dog ran off yelping and the boys fell to the ground in fear
according to Mrs. Roestenberg. She continued to watch, appalled at, the sight
as the machine switched on a flashing purple-blue light and rose silently
higher into the atmosphere.
The woman said she dashed back into the cottage to make a drawing of what
she had just witnessed, but before she could get' started she heard the boys
making a fuss again so she returned to the yard, arriving *n time to see
the saucer fly a circle around her farm and then zip away faster than any jet
plane she had ever seen.
The saucer left behind a thin, dark, ribbon of va
por.
Not long afterward Mr. Roestenberg arrived home from his assistant archi
tect job in Stafford and learned of the amazing event. The local constable
was summoned to investigate, and after interogating tve witnesses, came away
convinced there may be something to the flying saucer business afterall. It
was the constable that passed the story on to the press.
Hoax or reality?
The Roestenberg case does not end here, for in seems the husband "had a
queer hunch" he would see something too, and climbed to roof of his home to
keep^watch a few days after the "saucer visit."
If we are to believe him,
hi<= "premonition" proved correct when he caught sight of an "enormous sau-
76
sage-shaped" object (divided into four sect ions) flying a curved course only
a mile away! And that was not all.
On December 15, 1954, the husband was
supposed to have "lucked out again" and just happened to spot a mysterious
ball of_ fire that remained immobile in the air his home until it fled at
the approach of an aircraft.
UFO researcher/writer Gibbons paid a visit to the Roestenbergs and found
that the family seemed sincere enough, but any experienced UFO "expert"
would have reservations about the husband's "hunches," especially since it
turned out Mrs. Roestenberg made a claim about certain "mental powers." 178.
According to UFO researcher Wilfred Daniels, Mrs. Roestenberg had for
years felt she was a "psychic," and that for a number of hours prior to the
"space ship appearance," she had a "queer feeling" something was about to
happen,at least that was her peculiar claim. Years before during a seance
a medium directed a comment to Mrs. Roestenberg, pronouncing her a psychic
of considerable ability, a compliment she never forgot. While denying she
was a full-blown spiritualist, Mrs. Roestenberg said she did experience on
one occasion a "spirit manifestation of the spectral sort." Her aunt, she
admitted, was a practising "psychic healer." 179.
In Gibbon's mind, and to any UFO buff worth his salt, the possible flaw
in the "strange affair at Ranton" was that it had a George Adamski smell,
the American who at that time was the darling of England's occult society.
The only possible support Gibbon could find for Mrs. Roestenberg's story
was a belated UFO report in a regional newspaper, the Repress and Star,
concerning witnesses at St. Mary's Catholic school whicn is located in the
general area of Stafford. Witnesses reported a speeding, reddish-brown,
circular domed object at the time of the supposed Ranton incident. This
object passed overhead at an estimated 5,000 feet "making a noise like a
regular airplane."
England's own "Adamski."
Mrs. Roestenberg might have also been inspired by England's own "Adam
ski," a certain "Cedric Allingham" whose contactee book appeared in the
bookstores on October 11th, a work that received widespread press attention,
the French weeky Radar even giving the Englishman's "encounter with a man
from Mars" a full page treatment.
This "Allingham" fellow not only took a
picture of the saucer, like Adamski, but also got a snapshot of the pilot,
topping the Californian. Unfortunately both pictures were blurred, and if
one finds that suspicious, its an opinion widely shared.
According to "Allingham"s"book, Flying Saucer From Mars, a circular
craft with a portholed dome landed near "Loss iemoutn~7 "Scotland, on February
18, 1954.
"Allingham," a supposed writer-omithogist-astronomer, happened
to be in the right place at the right time, we are told, and as luck would
have it, the man's bird watching kit(camera, sketch pad, and binoculars)
came in handy.
When the craft came to a rest, a "normal-looked man" wearing a one-piece
coverall stepped out of a hatch and approached the astonished witness.
As
the saucer pilot drew near, "Allingham" noticed some small tubes protruding
from the alien's nose which the Englishman assumed were breathing aids so
the visitor could adapt to the atmosphere.
"Allingham" said he tried to converse with the spaceman but was unable
to breach the language barrier. Producing his sketch pad which he carried
on his outings so he could make renderings of the birds he observed, "All
ingham" drew a rough diagram of the sun and the nine planets. The visitor
understood and pointed out Mars as his home world.
77
There was no more comnunication. The "Martian" returned to his ship and
entered it.
The saucer rose, titled a little, and then zoomed away at high
speed.
There was supposed to have been someone in the area that observed all
this, a "James Duncan," so runs the account, which was suppose to support
the reality of the encounter.
180.
Girvan has doubts.
One English UFO buff most interested in the landing story was London
publisher Waveney Girvan, who wanted to believe events occurred as discribed
but had some doubts:"The main weakness in the Allingham story is that the
witness, James Duncan, cannot be traced, and the author admits that in the
excitement of the occasion he omitted to ask for his address."
181.
Girvan, who had taken a big chance and published Adamski's Flying Saucers
Have Landed, was puzzled by the fact that "Allingham" never approached him
which would have been the quickest way(he thought) to turn the manuscript
into a published book. Girvan:"...instead he sent it to a publisher[Freder
ick MullerP who, previously, had shown no interest at all in the subject."
182. CGirvan neglects to express surprise at the quick acceptance of the
work by Muller)
Who is "Allingham?"
Of course there were a lot a people who wanted to talk to "Allingham,"
but when enquiries were made for the purpose of setting up an interview, the
book's publisher insisted the author "was sick" and unable to meet with those
who sought to question him about the "meeting with a saucer pilot in Scot
land." Not long after the book was published, without ever making a public
appearance, "Allingham" was reported to have "died."
It took 30 years to discover the apparent truth. A UFO researcher by the
name of Chris Allan pursued some leads and determined that the real author
of Flying Saucer From Mars was not a "Mr. Allingham," but the viciously anti-'
UFO astronomer Patrick Moore.
This made sense to another researcher, Jenny Randies, because it explained
Moore's strange obsession with the "Allingham" contact for decades as an ex
ample of how the UFO subject was "absolute rot," a puzzling tactic since the
supposed encounter only enjoyed a brief period of notoriety before being
relagated to the trash heap of UFO history. Randies did some checking of her
own and learned from others that Allan was correct in fingering Moore, even
personal friends of the astronomer concurring in the charge, yet Moore always
denied the allegation, hurling insults at Allan and threatening to sue both
him and Randies if the hoax accusation saw print. Well, its been years since
the accusation saw print, but as yet Moore has not dared to air his differ
ences with his accusers in open court.
183.
A conspiracy?
If investigators Allen and Randies are right about the story being a fab
rication, then there is the distrubing possibility others helped Moore put
it over because Girvan's writings gives us reason to believe such a idea.
Girvan wrote at the time:
"The only testimony that I can now put forward is that those who
78
have met Mr. Allingham have been convinced of his veracity and sin
cerity.
Included among these people are a representative of the
Daily Mail and his publisher who, prior to the meeting, was not num
bered among the believers in the flying saucer."
184.
Perhaps UFO researchers can be forgiven if they have thoughts about "dis
information schemes" by the "powers -that-be" if Moore is wilty.
It boggles
the mind otherwise to think a" respected scientist
and popular science author
like Moore would flirt with professional suicide without a very good reason.
In the Fall of 1954 with "occupant" cases proliferating, the Allingham
book helped to discourage investigative journalists and scientists from tak
ing a good look at the UFO reports being Tnade, reports that seemed to be
getting better every day while official explanations *?ecame ever more un
believable .
"Paper flying saucers."
Not all UFOs were "spaceships."
A Bouvry-les-Bethune miner, M. Victor d'Oliveira, manufactured and sent
aloft over 1,000 ten foot high balloons made of strong grey paper, the hot
air supplied by payloads of burning parrafin-soaked rags. The miner's cre
ations were impressive in flight, appearing yellow and orange in color and
no doubt were responsible for many saucer sightings.
The "paper saucers"
were a well kept secret until one balloon nearly set a haystack ablaze which
attracted the attention of the police.

Near Pouzou, France,
(no time known)
Painful prickling.
A glowing red mass positioned itself over a road near Pouzou, in the de
partment of Charente. In the distance an auto approached. At the wheel was
a resident of the town of Cherbonnieres on his way to Pouzou. A passenger
in the vehicle was the driver's young son, a three-year-old. The driver
noticed the red mass up ahead, and as his auto got nearer and nearer, a prick
ling like an electrical shock swept over his body and kept increasing in in
tensity. The young child evidently felt the same pain because the toddler
began to act up. Soon after the auto's headlights went out and the engine
stopped turning over. Once the auto lost power, it rolled to a stop. The
red mass down the road turned an orange color and emitted a blinding brill-
ance. Suddenly the strange object vanished and at the same time the auto's
headlights and engine returned to normal operation. 187.

As M. Filloneau drove near Criteuil-La-Madeleine he got the fright of his

shook the vehicle. The close pass had other effects too. The man told the
press:"The battery was dead and the headlights were bumed out." 189. The
police conducted an enquiry but found nothing that could explain the damage.

Mr. Warrick was very cooperative when Stringfield called and confirmed
everything that had appeared in the press accounts, adding that the flying
cigar first appeared over the Jerome school at 3:15 .p.m. The thing, Mr.
Warrick said, had no tail or wings but did^seem to have "windows," a fact
that was difficult to establish since the light being emitted from the ob

The "perfect landing."
The next case was called the "perfect landing" by UFO researcher Jacques
Vallee for a rather complex reason that should only expounded upon after a
full survey of the Fall wave is told. Until then, we will just deal with re
lating the basic story:
"An Italian farmer saw a flying craft descend to ground level about
SO meters away with a sound like that of a compresser. It was an eggshaped machine with six wheels and complex machinery. The top half
was transparent and flooded with bright white light.
Aboard were six-
men in yellowish overalls, having human faces. When he touched part of
the craft the witness felt a strong electrical shock. One of the occu
pants motioned him to stay away. For the next 20 minutes the witness
was able to observe the six men apparently busy with instruments. The
craft then rose silently to 50 meters then took off at 'dizzying1 speed.
Reliable investigations were made and the imprint of six wheels were
clearly visible.."
192.
The New Yorker's 'Taris Letter."
A big story about the French saucer flap could be found in an unlikely
place, the pages of The New Yorker, in the magazine's "Paris Letter" feature.
The writer of the essay marvelled at the reported variety and extent of the
phenomenon. To name a few he mentioned: dancing crescents over Lille wit
nessed by hundreds; a village mayor, gendarme, and respected hotelkeeper
all seeing a "flying cigar over Deauville; three independent witnesses re
porting strange orange-colored flying cylinders that turned white when they
suuddenly zoomed straight up over the town of Nienre; a pilot and member of
the Societe of Ingenierurs penning a letter to the editor describing an ob
ject like a thick circular wing spinning through the air around his country
home for 20 minutes. And then of course there were those people who said
they "personally met men from Jlars."
In many of these cases, as the writer of the article explained, the wit
nesses to these "visions" were what the French call "digne de *oi," or per
sons worthy of belief.
As examples the writer mentions: a wealthy Normandy farmer and his wife,
reputable mechanics and electricians, the police inspector for the city of
Nice, a famous French bicycle racer, a school teacher on Oleron island, the
Conseiller General des Alpes-Maritimes, and one peasant who had to be liter
ary dragged from his bed to see his saucer.

(no time known)
By late October the southern shift of the UFO phenomena became more
marked than ever when a significant number of reports began to roll in
from South America.
The first case of note was on the 23rd when a lumin
ous object changed colors alternately, stopped in mid air, started again
making many course changes while flying around in the sky above Buenos
82
Aires, Argentina.
It was quite a show and of course did not fail to
generate crowds of witnesses.

One French family acted differently than some.
At the Boeuf farm out
side St-Hilaire-des-Loges, the woman of the household happened to spot a
luminous disc hovering over the property. She summoned the rest of" the
family to come and see the remarkable sight. Everyone rushed out doors
and stared at the thing in the sky, but when the object suddenly moved
toward them, the family became panicky and rushed back inside the house,
barring the doors and windows. For the rest of the night no one slept.

Porto Alegre, Brazil,
(no time known)
On Brazil's Atlantic coast about 500 miles south of Sao Paulo, lies
the city of Porto Alegre.
Nearby is the Brazilian Air Force base of
Gravatai. The second major UFO case of the Fall 1954 South American wave
occurred in this area.
Like the sky show over Buenos Aires the day be
fore, this incident was protracted. For three hours a pair of egg-shaped
objects maneuvered over the area in a sun-lit cloudless sky, moving at
great speed, and once in a while making abrupt course changes.
Many civilians watched the impressive display, as well as a number of
Brazilian Air Force officers and enlisted men.
One of the military men
was Major Magalhaes Motta who followed the object's antics with binocullars. A report was submitted to the Brazilian High Command.. 196.
A contrast.
In France the newspaper France-Dimmache devoted alomost its entire
October^th comic page to a humorous treatment of the "saucoupes."
(The cartoons are shown on pp.63-64)
In contrast in the United States a serious essay appeared in The Ameri
can Weekly by the famed rocket scientist Hermann Oberth who concluded the
Earth was host to a race of space visitors he chose to call "Uranides." 197.
(See article) This article was a much discussed piece of speculation and
helped UFO advocates like Donald Keyhoe.

Yugoslavia.
There was a furor in Yugoslavia when scores of bluish glowing" objects
streaked over the countryside.
The national Meteorological Bureau based in Belgrade tracked a trio of
what it said was metallic-like objects with glowing blue tails. The objects
passed over in a V-formation. The altitude of the flight was guessed to be
about 9,000 feet and the velocity at 2,000 mph. 202. Yugoslavian astron
omers rejected a meteor explanation and the Belgrade government authorities
admitted that the situation was "being taken very seriously." 203.

It was six feet long by three feet high according to M. Mahou, a municipal
councillor. The object startled the man when it suddenly shot skyward from
the surface of the road and raced into the heavens, leaving behind a glowing
streak. The Frenchman said the thing resembled a "phosphorescent chicken
brooder."

A Mme. Louis and her sons, Marc and Yvon, were working their farm late in
the day on October 25th. They were using a tractor. Because of the increas
ing darkness the farm machine's headlights were on.
According to these farm folk an orange-colored body the size of an auto
suddenly streaked overhead. At the same time the tractor stopped running and
its headlights went out. Afterwards, while trying to restart the tractor,
the boys found that the battery was fully discharged.

This
object was larger than the one reported by M. Mabou near Arraye-Et-Han
The
thing was estimated to be the size of a truck and had the appearance of what
the witness said was a "large cauldron." The UFO vaulted skyward soundless

Reporting on the French UFO wave, Nexus, editor James Moseley enjoyed pub

"...the Lorraine village of Walschied was terrified by a report that
men from Mars had landed in a villager's garden. Womanfolk dashed in
to the church, hoping for divine sanctuary, while the men grabbed
scythes, clubs, and guns, and proceeded to march against the garden.
There stood the invaders, half human size, heads glowing, and motion

A Lutheran bishop comments.
Expressing his personal conviction that the recent European UFO reports
represent visitors from space, the Lutheran bishop of Oldenburg, Germany,
Gerhard Jacobi, wrote for the church weekly Unsere Kirche that:
"Although their size and shape may differ from ours, Christ is their
Lord in any case, whether they are aware of it or not...the faithful
have always known and confessed that Christ is the Lord of all beings
fhat live on any billions of planets."

When a young Italian man heard a loud hissing sound, he investigated its
origin and discovered a strange object resting in a field giving off a blind

Bruin, he was overcome by "strong emotions." The object suddenly shot up

In downtown Prato there was a hotel that fronted on the Piazza San Marco.
Two Italian men, a Senor Lucchetti and a Senor Lastrucci, were on the hotel

two men looked up and saw a pair of speeding "luminous spindles," one be

10,000 witnesses!
Florence, Italy.
(2:20-2:29 p.m.)
Within minutes of the UFO's departure from Prato, a soccor match at the
city of Florence was interupted as two spheres flew over the stadium.
The
action stopped on the playing field as the players and the 10,000 spectators
watched the objects pass out of sight.
If the witnesses reported the UFOs
accurately at both Prato and Florence, they,could not be the same objects,
but it seems the skies of Florence was full of strange things that after
noon. Elsewhere besides the sports field numerous witnesses reported pairs
of strange objects passing over the city on at least three different occas
ions during a nine minute period(2:20-2:29 p.m.).
Like the incident at Prato, strands of "Angel hair-like" material rained
down on the city.
Excitement was widespread.

"Boron-silicon glass."
A sample of some Florence "Angel hair" filaments was given a spectroscopic
examination by the University of Florence, a testing that revealed elements
of silicon, calcuim, boron, and magnesium, which the experts at the school
said were the basic components of a material known to them as "boron-silicon
glass."
214.
Professors Danilo Cozzi and Giovanni Canneri conducted the study of the
mysterious strands. Dr. Canneri commented on his verdict:
"It is a material of fibrous composition possessing notable resistance
to.tration and torsion. When subjected to heat it turned to a darker
shade and volatilized, leaving a fusible transparent residue." 215.

'went out.

Leonard Stringfield's newsletter reported:
"The Jewish Exponent reports saucers spotted twice over Israel, late
October, causing considerable excitement.
Inhabitants of Mahne Yehuda
saw their 300 feet above the maket area.
It was described as a 'round
house with smoke pouring from its windows flashing toward the Mediter
ranean... the second, cigar-shaped, was seen over Jerusalem moving with
great speed toward the sea." 217.
October 27th.
Peru,
(no time known)
An engineer observed a UFO from a location in Peru's Chicama Valley on
the 27th. The object was an elliptical shape giving off pulsating flashes
of light as it crossed the sky, moving fast and then slow. At one point
the object "fell diagonally," losing some of its luminosity.
The thing
stopped its fall at an altutude of about 300 meters where it hovered and
regained its original brilliance.

October 27th.
Les Jonquerets de Livet, France.
(7:30 p.m.)
What makes the next case stand out is its apparent duration. Working in
his pear orchard farmer'Gilbert Hee saw a strange cigar-shaped object in a
nearby pasture. At either end of the object were lights but nothing that
was intimidating, nonetheless M. Lee hestitated to investigate although some
of his cows had congregated at the spot out of bovine curiousity. The lights
on the thing were suddenly extinguished for some reason so M. Hee returned to
his farmhouse.
The pasture where the object rested, it seems, was next to a road where
some two hours later a young motorcyclist, M. Cheradame, lost control of his
machine and took a bad tumble. Details are lacking but evidently the 18-yearold saw the UFO and blamed it for the lost of power in his cycle, in any
event, he gave the alarm and some local people went to the pasture to check
things out. An elongated object was spotted resting in a grassy area and
nearby Sj foot tall figures in "bright armour" were seen moving about in a
"stiff" manner. Perhaps due to the approach of the witnesses, the figures
disappeared and the UFO soundlessly became airborne. 219.

The mayor's secretary had quite a story to tell after driving on Route 40.
For a quarter of a hour her car was followed by a glowing cigar-shaped UFO.
Only an estimated 60 feet above her vehicle, the "cigar" stayed with her car
in^spite of the many bends in the road. Eventually the object tired of the
game and sped away at a right angle.
October <27th.
Grosseto, Italy.
221.
(11:30 p.m.)
A half hour before midnight Senora Ermellina Lanzillo peered out the
window hoping to see her cat. Instead, her gaze beheld an "entity" in her
garden, a being with a large head and "ape-like" eyes. Although the figure
had narrow shoulders, its body seemed to be plump. She could not move when
she first saw the creature but she assumes her immobility was due to terror
because she gained the strength to move after a few moments and was able to
yell for her niece.
No more detail is available.
October 28th. Milan, Italy.
222.
(10:00 p.m.)
"Spacemen welcomed with a shower of garbage."
Or were they?
According to an Italian group,"The National unified Center for UFO Studies
(Centro Unico Nazionale or CUN)," which was established in 1961:; the famous
Milan, Italy, case of October 28, 1954( that gained international notoriety
after being written up in Frank Edwards' best seller Flying Saucers-Serious
Business)was a hoax. The CUM people said the fantastic story was just a mass
jolce conducted at Tradate, a town near Milan. 223. The story itself, as
well as the confession of boys that perpetrated the hoax, can be found in
news accounts if one checks carefully enough.
(See newsclippings) Not part
of the hoax and of interest to the student of UFOs.was a mention in the newsclipping about the "Milan landing" that referred to intense UFO activity over
the city of Livorno and along the Adriatic coast, activity apparently not
well documented by even Italian UFO buffs.

October 28th.
Rome, Italy,
(daytime)
The date of the second big UFO show is a bit unclear but it seems to have
been on the 28th.
UFOs soared silently over Italy's capital and AP reporter Maurizio Andreolo wrote:"It looked like a moon dashing across the sky at fantastic speed.
It flew silently."
224.
The most famous eyewitness to the UFO passage was U.S. Ambassador Clare
Booth Luce who was quoted as saying:"! saw something, but I don't teiow what
it was."
225.
An AP dispatch in the New York Journal-American printed a story that men
tioned a trio of sky objects like "luminous coins" moving across the heavens
in V-formation, and that:"A few declared they saw fine cotton or wool par
ticles falling from the sky and hanging on telephone lines." 226.
The Rome newspaper Giobale d' Italia commented on the strange filaments,
stating that the:"...threads may be some new form of radar confuser, similar
to the tinfoil dropped by bombers in the war."

Donald Keyhoe.
Washington Airport again.
Back in the States UFO crusader Donald Keyhoe read the European UFO dis
patches with the greatest of interest, as one can imagine, although like
most UFO researchers he had a hard time accepting "little men" stories
since the far-out Frank'Scully book.
Keyhoe's writings on the UFO story were constructed in a sequential
ner to give the impression of a day-to-day struggle for the truth, but
ing this period there wasn't much to do with all the action across the
ever
man
dur
At
lantic, although on the 28th there was some more mysterious radar returns
recorded by Washington National Airport, as well as visual sightings of odd
lights in the sky. Jet interceptors were scrambled. The events reminded
Keyhoe of the dramatic days of the summer of 1952. The CAA called the radar
alert a false alarm, and the strange lights reported by Washington residents
probably the landing lights on airliners.
Keyhoe, growing ever more disillusioned with officials, blamed what he
called the "silence group" for the hasty explanation and saw the CAA state
ment as really having an Air Force origin.
228.
"Martian declaration of war?"
Estimates of "landings" in the saucer epidemic run as high as 100 in
France and that may be not be anywhere near the true number. Amid all this
fuss it was often the oddest story that got the most attention. Checking
over a stack of news clippings, Nexus editor James Moseley singled out this
one:
"In Haute-Garonne a gendarme reported watching a saucer land in a
field and seeing a troop of Martians 'the size of ten-year-old boys'
deploy through the trees. The saucer was gone when the villagers got
to the scene, and so were the Martians,but some papers were discovered
lying on the ground. Savants of the University of Toulouse were asked
to study them to see if this might be a Martian declaration of war.
After some anxious hours, the documents turned out to be written in a
dialect of Indo-Chinese. They had been dropped by some Indo-Chinese
students on a picnic two days earlier."

E. J. Ruppelt.
On the sidelines watched E.J. Ruppelt, fonner head of project BLUE BOOK
during its most tumultuous period.
Friends in Europe were sending him data
on the flap in France and other countries and Ruppelt couldn't help notice
that the UFO controversy overseas mirrored to a large extent the American ex
perience.
Although no longer having any official status, Ruppelt kept in
formed.
UFOs, he once wrote, could be addictive, like strong drink.

October 28th.
Yaounde, Cameroons.
(daytime?)
A sighting in mid-Africa took place when a dog growled at the sky
People
nearby looked up and saw a UFO at a low altitude. The principle witness was
the head of a local hospital who described the object as:"...an enormous
stationary disk, powerfully illuminated, mushroom-shaped and carrying be
neath it a cylinder of a length equal to its own diameter, which was dan
gling from it."
October 29th.

Mesples, France.
(7:45 a.m.)
M. Gentilwas in her farmhouse the morning of October 29th when he heard a
frantic knocking at her front door. She opened the door and found a weepinoteenage girl who was seeking safety because she was being "chased by a sau- =
cer."
Outside in the sky a whirling, red and purple colored disc could be
seen. The thing soon dropped to a lower altitude and disappeared. The local
police took an interest in the incident.

"
"Greatest turning point."
A young Swiss professor of Psychology and Phiosophy, a Dr. Alfred Nahon
established "The World Interplanetary Association" on October 28, 1954 at
the city of Lausanne. He edited a weekly Swiss Radio broadcast which pro
claimed: "The greatest turning point in humanity: the 'flying saucers '" Dr
Nahon had written French President Mendes-France:"...calling his attention to
the importance of some landings which had then taken place in France." 233
The Nahon letter to the President was published in part by the influential
French weekly L' Express. There is no record of a replv by the French Chief
Executive.

Muro Lugano, Italy.
Some Italian hunters came across two UFOs while seeking game. One of the
UFOs descended close to the treetops as they watched. The thingcould be seen
as a "rhomboidic shape" with a cylinder suspended beneath it (See the October
28th Cameroons case).
The UFO was so low the cylinder hit a tree a number of
times. An odd sound was heard during the sighting but what caused it could
not be determined. Eventually the "rohomboidic" object gained height and
zoomed away, leaving a bluish streak in the atmosphere. 234.
October 30th.
Rome, Italy,
(daytime)
UFO researcher professor Alberto Pergo lived through these hectic "UFO
days" and can attest to the fact that there was much more UFO activity than
one can find documented. He_ knew of at least 200 Italian sightings for the

month of October 1954 and at least 19 supposed "saucer landings" in the
country. The Italian newspapers, he recalled, cooled off as the month
progressed, making UFO witnesses reluctant to report their experience,
thus hindering a complete accounting of activity in the region.
As an example Dr. Pergo relates a personal incident. On October 30th
at 1:00 p.m. while standing in front of the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore
in downtown Rome, Dr. Pergo noticed people in the area looking at the sky.
He glanced skyward and spotted small white objects racing about, zooming
here and there. The professor counted at least 100 people watching the
UFOs but in the newspapers the following day there was no reference to any
unexplained objects over the city.
235.
October 31st.
Corrompu, France,
(no time known)
Three Frenchmen encountered an oval object about 4Jj meters in diameter
resting on the ground. Soon after its discovery, the object launched
itself skyward and flew away, returning moments later, only to finally
leave the area for good on a southwest course. The headlights of a tractor
were affected during the incident.
A light on the object was so intense it was compared to a welder's tor
ch.
A funny sound like a swarm of bees was heard.
236.
A "Martian" is shot.
James Moseley wrote:
"In the Cher Valley district, M. Pierre Langlois, a genial farmer,
was trudging home through a downpour of rain when he encountered a
man from Mars in a strangely luminous costume floating over and
around a flying saucer, apparently mounting a death-ray gun.
M.
Langlois could see the glint of a metallic claw protruding from the
Martian's sleeve. Not being easily intimidated, Langlois got a
shotgun from his home and gave the Martian both barrels at 40 yards.
There was a yelp of pain, and a passing motorist a few minutes later
picked up M. Andre Lacoste, in a white raincoat, with buckshot pel
lets in his arms and ribs. M. Lacoste turned out to be a traveling
salesman from Bordeaux, who had been fixing the carburetor of his
Renault with a monkey-wrench." 237.
"The Fifth Horseman."
The "landing" cases did little to help the pro-UFO advocates, with so
many of the reported incidents so outlandish they were hard to believe, a
feeling reinforced when in a few instances culprits stepped forward and
admitted the fabrication.
It raised a question about the human mind.
If
so many people from all walks of life could lie about a "landing," what
would keep them from committing the lesser sin of exaggerating a "light in
the sky" sighting into a flying saucer?
In short, was the UFO mystery so
much humbug afterall?
Any UFO buff that maintained a minimum level of objectivity was torment
ed by at least some skepticism.
Even Air Force BLUE BOOK advisor Dr. J.
Allen Hynek was confused, and he was suppose to be in a position to know
something.
Dr. Hynek's Girl Friday, Jennie Zeldman, could understand and
sympathize with her boss since she was faniilar with BLUE BOOK paperwork.
She also had her doubts about UFOs but she was sharp enough to realize
something was missing from the equation, that she did not know the whole
100
story. She became aware that Dr. Hynek's job was hardly more then analyzing
second-rate UFO reports, that the high-strangeness cases were apparently
screened out of the weeky delivery of military TWXs by Air Force courier,
data that-was rarely classified higher than "Restricted."
One day in the early 1950s Miss Zeldman was asked by Dr. "Hynek to stop
in on Dr. Lincoln LaPaz, world renown meteoriticist on the faculty of the
University of New Mexico.
Miss Zeldman felt uncomfortable in the presence of Dr. LaPaz, a long
time Pentagon consultant who had led military/scientific UFO investigation
teams and therefore a possible "high level insider." After talking a while
to Dr. LaPaz, Miss Zeldman realized the eminent professor and the government
knew a lot more about UFOs then she could learn by her BLUE BOOK work. She
realized this although LaPaz was careful■about what he said and how he said
it. Sensing her inadequacy, Miss Zeldman felt her side of the conversation
was just "naive jabberings." When she made known her and Dr. Hynek's "gen
eral skepticism" about UFOs, Miss Zeldman got the shock of her life.
LaPaz
stared at her and made a chilling pronouncement he did not elaborate on: "UFOS
ARE THE FIFTH HORSEMAN OF THE APOCALYPSE." 238.
