The conversation came from a nearby heather | | field. Then two men approached to within 50 meters of Mrs. Paquet. | | One of them turned towards the mill of Mr. Blanchon, emitting a yell | | and making gestures. Two more men next showed up, and walked in the | | direction of the Rozeille River, where they then joined the first two | | and all four vanished. Fiteen minutes later Mrs. Paquet's dog began | | to bark furiously, and she see a silent dark cigar-shaped object rise | | into the air and disappear towards the southwest. The men were | | approximately 1.80 meters in height and wore dark blue combinations | | suits.

Messrs. J. Augard and | | J. Chanzotte saw an oval object with a dome, emitting a bright white | | light and resting in a field. When they approached it the object rose | | vertically, leaving a reddish trail, and flew off toward the | | northeast. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight | | Line Mystery, p. 198; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century | | of Landings, p. 233). | | | | 1954 – At Pont l’Abbe d’Arnoult, Charente-Maritime, France Mr. | | Meunier, a construction supervisor, was terrified by a strange craft, | | which rose vertically from the ground. He said he had never been so | | afraid, even during the war. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers | | and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 196; Jacques Vallee, Passport to | | Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 233, case 283). | | | | 1954 - Driving a van four miles from Coheix, Puy-de-Dome, France Mr. | | Bachelard, age 42, was going around a bend in the road at 5:30 p.m. | | when he felt half paralyzed and his van's motor began missing | | and slowed to 20 mph. He then saw hovering in a nearby field a | | motionless, silent elongated or flattened object 30 feet long. A | | police investigation was conducted. (Source: Aime Michel, Flying | | Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 198; Richard Hall, The UFO | | Evidence, p. 74; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle | | Interference, p. 3). | | | | 1954 - An anonymous schoolboy returning from his evening studies in | | Louvigne-Du-Desert, Ille-Et-Vilaine, France was approaching the | | hamlet of Salmoniere when he suddenly saw a small being with an odd | | face, which frightened him enormously. The creature entered a machine | | that was lying in a ditch, and then the machine rose up in the air at | | a tremendous rate of speed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1954, citing Jean Sider, Dossier 1954 et l'Imposture | | Rationaliste). | | | | 1954 – Fontenay-Torey, Oise, France. At 8:40 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. | | Lherminier saw a red, cigar-shaped object dive toward them with a | | reddish trail and land near the road. Upon reaching the top of the | | hill, they were confronted by a bulky human figure about one meter | | (3.3 feet) tall. The creature wore a helmet and his eyes were glowing | | with an orange light. One witness fainted on the spot. Four others | | saw the object in flight from separate locations. The countryside was | | illuminated over 2 or 3 kilometers. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport | | to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 233; David F. Webb & Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1954-104). | | | | 1954 - At 8:45 p.m. three witnesses observed a cylinder or rocket | | shaped device with several illuminated portholes following a complex | | trajectory along a river in Formerie, Oise department, France. The | | craft then landed close to the witnesses and several humanoids | | described as about 1.50 meters in height, with dark skin and wearing | | metallic helmets and metallic garments, exited the craft. As the | | witnesses watched stupefied, they suddenly experienced headaches and | | memory loss. Apparently they did not see the object and its occupants | | depart. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1954, | | citing Claude Poher, GEPA “Statistics from 735 UFO observations”). | | | | 1954 – In Royan, Charente-Maritime, France Mr. and Mrs. Labassiere | | and other witnesses saw two discs in the sky at 9:00 p.m, one orange | | and the other red, with a sort of luminous "bridge" between them. | | They landed, and one dwarf came out of each craft and went into the | | other without any sign. After this exchange of pilots both objects | | flew away with a tremendous flash. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying | | Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 193; Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 233, case 285). | | | | 1954 – At 10:45 p.m. Miss Marie Louise Bourriot saw a bright red | | light on Route N437 near an old factory in St.-Point Lake, Le | | Vezenay, Doubs, France. She was on a motorbike and saw that the | | luminous object was over the road. Next to it stood a man of normal | | stature in a trenchcoat. He was motionless, and he was joined by two | | dwarves who crossed the road ahead of her. She had to swerve to avoid | | hitting them.The craft took off, flying over the lake at a high | | speed. Small footprints were later found at the site. Jean-Luc Rivera | | thinks that woman was witnessing an abduction taking place, and that | | the man in trenchcoat was an abductee, and not one of the UFO | | occupants.  (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue no. 97; Aime | | Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 197; Jacques | | Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, pp. 233-234; | | David F.

Tyrode, FSR Case Histories, October 1970, | | p. 16; Jerome Clark, Anomalist, April 2000, p. 20).  | | | | 1954 - Sometime before midnight 15-year-old Albert Geraud was on his | | bicycle on route D216 between Andigne and Saint-Martin du Bois, | | France when he saw a light that turned from green to red. It | | descended in a jerky motion and landed on the road, revealing a | | saucer-shaped object giving off a red gleam on the ground. The | | panicked witness felt like his legs were paralyzed. Inside the object | | he could see a small being covered with hair, that stared at him with | | large eyes. Abruptly the object lifted off, emitting a strong gush of | | wind toward the teenager, and it zipped away in the direction of | | Lyon. After the incident the witness had to lie prostrate in bed for | | several days. (Source: Michel Figuet & Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le | | Premier Dossier Complet des Rencontres Rapprochees en France, pp. | | 182-183, citing Ouest France, October 20, 1954; Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1954, case # 2435, citing Figuet & Ruchon). | | | | 1954 - At just before midnight salesman Renzo Pugina, age 37, was | | parking his car in Erba, Como, Italy after returning home from seeing | | a movie. Pugina noticed a soft glow in the park of the villa, but he | | attributed this to the moon. After he had climbed a half-flight of | | stairs connecting the lane to the villa, he observed a strange figure | | at the top of the steps, near to a tree. The creature was 1.3 meters | | tall, and facing to the right. The creature was surrounded by a soft, | | warm light and appeared to be wearing armor. It wore a helmet with a | | transparent visor, and it seemed most of the light emitted by the | | creature was concentrated at the top of its head. Its upper body was | | covered in slightly luminous overalls comprised of metallic scales | | while the lower part was contained by a large “pipe” 50 cm high and | | 20 centimeters wide (no legs were visible). A much smaller pipe 1.5 | | meters in length was attached horizontally to the first one, just | | centimeters above the ground. Near the end of this pipe was a | | luminous disc “as large as a bicycle wheel.” Its upper part was | | dome-shaped and orientated horizontally over the pipe, but there was | | no contact between the two elements. Pugina continued to climb the | | steps, but after a few seconds, the creature rotated his trunk | | towards him. He also slowly rotated his head, as if manipulated by a | | mechanism. The creature held a flashlight type device in its right | | hand, and it was directed at the witness, who instantly felt | | paralyzed when struck by a beam of light. He remained unable to | | move for some time. Pugina noticed that the outer features of the | | creature’s face were rather normal yet striking, featuring almost no | | forehead and eyes that were almond-shaped. Its face was olive in | | shade “as if it had been splashed with motor oil.” Once Pugina was | | able to grasp a bunch of keys in his hand he regained control of his | | body . Pugina took a few more steps forward, pronouncing in Italian | | the word “Marte!” (Mars!). He did this because he thought the being | | was a Martian, and in order to tell him not to leave. The creature | | appeared to grimace, and when Pugina advanced another step the | | creature alighted one meter off the ground and flew away along the | | villa lane, maintaining a flight path below the tree branches. The | | flight produced a soft buzzing noise. Pugina ran after him, but the | | creature disappeared around a curve. The entire sighting lasted but a | | few minutes. His wife was at home asleep but she woke up when Pugina | | made a hasty entrance. She saw he was in shock and could not speak, | | and was shivering. Pugina’s wife said that her husband shivered the | | rest of the night. The press reported that Pugina remained in bed for | | two days after his encounter. Some form of trace material was found | | on the gravel lane of the villa the following day. It was odorless, | | dry and greaseless. A couple of days later this trace area had | | greatly expanded. The local Carabinieri claimed that Pugina was a | | “normal” individual not known to drink or to suffer from | | psychological problems. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1954, citing Maurizio Verga, When Saucers Came to Earth). | | | | 1965 - At 10:20 p.m. an oval-shaped object with a flashing red light | | on top and green, red and white lights around the perimeter was seen | | in Sharon, Massachusetts. It moved slowly 100 feet above ground, and | | only 500 yards away from the witnesses. (Source: Ray Fowler case | | files, report dated March 5, 1967). | | | | Sharon, Massachusetts - 1965 | | | | [Sketch of Sharon, Massachusetts UFO - 1965] | | | | 1967 – At nine o’clock in the evening in Lake Charles, Louisiana John | | Herbert witnessed a bright, fiery ball that flashed four times while | | moving east, just above the treetops. The sighting lasted one minute. | | (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1973 - On this evening two youths were chased by a white "thing" 3-4 | | feet tall on White Oak Mountain near Chatham, Virginia. The thing had | | a shimmering body, large head with no eyes, and ran sideways. A green | | hazy cloud was seen moving away. Several other reports of objects | | were made in the area. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-45; David F. Webb, 1973: The | | Year of The Humanoids). | | 1973 - Later this same night a tiny silver being was seen standing | | beside US Route 17 near Savannah Georgia. A line of autos slowed down | | to observed the humanoid, but no one left his car. (Source: David F. | | Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1973-46; David F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The Humanoids). | | | | 1997 - Near Huntsville, Texas 15-year-old Joanna Alice Stevenson was | | awoken around midnight to find several strange beings standing over | | her bed. They were humanoids with large craniums, small mouths, and | | two slits for a nose. She was terrified. She looked out her window | | and could see a UFO hovering right outside her bedroom window. The | | creatures that were examining her talked or communicated by using | | grunts that sounded like a foreign language. Her conscious memory | | suddenly stopped at this point, and she could only vaguely remember | | being poked and probed by the aliens. They took blood samples, then | | let her go by dropping her off in a large field, not far away from | | her rural home. (Source: Albert S.
