It glided over the road for 30 meters and then rose | | rapidly. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line | | Mystery, p. 167; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of | | Landings, p. 226) | | | | 1954 - A railroad employee, Mr. Laugere, saw a torpedo-shaped, | | metallic craft on the ground near a gas/oil tank in Montlucon, | | France. An hairy humanoid was standing nearby, emitting sounds that | | were not understood. The witness went to get his friends, but the | | thing had disappeared in the meantime. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying | | Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 167; Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 226). | | | | 1954 - Jan Marty, age 42, a mechanic, was in his shop in Leguevin, | | France when he saw a luminous disc land. It was about 6.5 meters in | | diameter and 2.5 meters thick. He tried to approach it, but the craft | | rose vertically and silently at an amazing speed. (Source: Jacques | | Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 226). | | | | 1954 - Ste.-Marie d'Herblay, France. Gilbert Lelay, age 13, saw a | | phosphorescent cigar-shaped UFO in a pasture and a man standing near | | it, wearing a gray suit, boots, and a gray hat. He held a flashing | | sphere and told Gilbert in French not to touch it. He went back | | inside the craft, which flew in loops and then vanished. (Source: | | Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 226). | | | | 1954 - Dompierre-les-Tilleuls, France - Mr. Vielle, a businessman, was | | on Route N471 between Frasnes and Pontarlier when he saw a circular | | flying craft that gave off a yellowish and a purple light. Losing | | altitude, the craft came very close to the ground, changed its course | | to southwest, and then rose again in the sky. (Sources: Aime Michel, | | Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 167; Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 227). | | | | 1954 - Roger Ramond, a night watchman, saw a great light and noticed | | an oval object land 300 meters away in Vielmur, France. It looked | | like a fiery orange ball, illuminated the vineyard for nearly 3 | | hours, then assumed a vertical position, rose slowly, hovered 30 | | meters above the ground for a few seconds, and took off at fantastic | | speed. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line | | Mystery, p. 168; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of | | Landings, p. 227). | | | | 1963 - At 3:30 a.m. Sr. E. Douglas, while driving a truck through a | | violent rainstorm, had to stop when he encountered a large, blinding | | object, 35 meters high, from which three giants, three meters tall | | emerged. They wore luminous clothes and strange helmets. Douglas took | | out a gun and fired at them, as a red beam burned him. He ran away | | and found shelter in Monte Maiz, Argentina. He suffered burns similar | | to strong ultraviolet exposure. Very large footprints were found at | | the site. "A truck driver was travelling along a lonely road at night | | during a violent storm when he was suddenly blinded by a vivid white | | light which enveloped his vehicle. Simultaneously, he felt a burn on | | his face. He then braked but the vehicle skidded, left the road and | | became bogged down in the mud. The driver found himself in the | | presence of three strange beings with the gait of robots. Nearby he | | saw an oval-shaped object with portholes emitting a harsh light. | | Picking up his revolver, he fired four shots at the beings, who fled | | to the object. It then took off and flew around the truck several | | times, each time causing the driver to feel burns all over his body. | | Examination by a doctor revealed that the burns were 'curious | | lesions' of undetermined cause." (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport | | to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 583; Gregory Falla, BUFORA | | Vehicle Interference Catalog). | | | | 1979 - On this night two glowing humanoids about 1.20 meters in | | height, that appeared not to have eyes or arms, were seen moving | | around in a field in Goiania, Brazil. They moved about with jerky, | | mechanical movements. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1979, citing Antonio Faleiro, Brazil). | | | | Written by Donald A.
