on the road ahead. The top half seemed to be made of<br />
transparent plastic, and two humanlike figures were<br />
standing inside. It took off rapidly, flying east. (48;<br />
M145)<br />
Pournoy-la-Chetive (France). Four children—Gilbert<br />
Calda, 12; Daniel Hirsch, 9; J. P. Hirsch, 5; and Robert<br />
Maguin, 16—were roller-skating when they saw a<br />
luminous object near the cemetery. It was round,<br />
about 2.5 m in diameter, standing on three legs. A<br />
dwarf, about 1.2 m tall, dressed in black, having a face<br />
covered with hair and large eyes, came out and shone<br />
a blinding light at them, and said something in an<br />
unknown language. The children ran away, but looked<br />
back in time to see the object flying away high in the<br />
sky. (49; M 154; Magonia)<br />
Lavoux (France). Mr. Barrault was riding his bicycle<br />
when he suddenly saw a figure in a diving suit aiming<br />
a double beam of light at him. The individual had<br />
boots without heels and very bright eyes, walked on<br />
the road for one minute and went into the forest. The<br />
witness was "paralyzed" throughout the incident. The<br />
entity had a hairy chest and two lights, one above the<br />
other, in front of him. (45, 48; M 153; Magonia)<br />
Briatexte (France). On Route N631 at "La Caiffe,"<br />
a technician, J. P. Mitto, was coming back from<br />
Toulouse with two other persons when they saw two<br />
small figures, the height of 11-year-old children, cross<br />
the road about 5 m in front of the car and jump into<br />
a pasture. Stopping immediately, the witnesses saw a<br />
large convex disk take off vertically. It was about 6 m<br />
in diameter, orange in color and was literally "sucked<br />
up" into the sky. Brown oily spots were found at the<br />
site. (43, 50)<br />
Beirut (Lebanon). The local representative of a<br />
German firm, Max Favcll, saw an object give off a<br />

white light and land. It took off vertically, with<br />
a spinning motion, and was lost to sight. (51)<br />
Mahallat (Persia). Approximate date. Many farmers<br />
observed the landing of a "marvelous luminous object,"<br />
hemispherical in shape, emitting multicolored<br />
beams. The central part appeared to be metallic. The<br />
object shot straight up suddenly and vanished while<br />
the crowd watched. (Creighton; 52)<br />
Epoisses (France). Between Epoisses and Toutry,<br />
Daniel Grapin and Francois Bolatre, topographers,<br />
saw a luminous sphere 3.5 m diameter on the ground<br />
near Route N454. (Quincy)<br />
Quarouble (France). Second landing here, seen by<br />
Marius Dewilde (cf. Case 144) and his 4-year-old son.<br />
A disk, 6 m diameter, about 1 m high, landed again<br />
on the tracks. Seven little men emerged and spoke in<br />
an unknown language. The craft then vanished without<br />
noise or smoke. Traces larger than the first, and<br />
symmetrical, were observed. Dewilde refused to report<br />
the case. (Personal; Magonia)<br />
Charmes-la-Cote (France). Roger Tbiriet, jailer in<br />
Ecouvres detention center, was riding his motorcycle<br />
when he suddenly saw an aluminum-colored object<br />
shaped like a plate, with a dome and two portholes.<br />
It was about 2 m in diameter and 1 m high. It took<br />
off immediately. (54)<br />
Saint-Germain-de-Livet (France). A math professor,<br />
Mr. Bon, observed a silvery disk about 7 m in diameter<br />
rise silently from a point about 250 rn to the side<br />
of the road. Spinning, it dived to the ground from an<br />
altitude of about 800 m, then flew off horizontally at<br />
a dizzying speed. (55, 57)<br />
