yellow flames, the object was egg-shaped, flew 15 m
above the ground, and emitted intense heat. The little
pond was found desiccated, and haystacks caught fire
as it flew over, while the cattle suffered burns. (67;
Plantier 104)
Saint-Pierre-Haltc (France). A baker saw a brilliant
yellow craft descend rapidly and land on the railroad
tracks. It was shaped like a mushroom, about 4 m
diameter, 2 m high. (62; M 180)
Luino (Italy). An ovoid object made a pass over a
range of trees; two caught fire. (83)
Po-di-Gnocca (Italy). Farmers saw a disk-shaped
object land, then take off vertically. At the site was
found a deep crater about 6 m in diameter. Poplar
trees were partially burned. Official investigation.
(65; M 181)
Nimes-Courbessac Airfield (France). A yellow, cigarshaped
object with brilliant portholes, 30 m long, 6 m
diameter, was seen on the ground. Figures with helmets
covering the head could be seen inside. A sort of
haze was observed at both ends of the craft. (Quincy)
Southend (Great Britain). Pat Hennessey ran away
when she saw an object land on the road near Chalkwell

back. (M 182; Humanoids 4; FSR 62, 12)

sphere land in the countryside; it then emitted
lights of various colors. (54, 68; M 181)

Quasso (Italy). Two objects were seen, one of which
made a pass at treetop level. It was top-shaped, and a
small, gesticulating human figure was seen under it.
The witness was a bus driver, Mr. De Rossi. (84)
Thin le Moutiers (France). Approximate date. An
object landed about 30 m away from a woman, who
fainted. The witness suffered from a skin disease following
the incident. (Challenge 53)
Cier-de-Riviere (France). Guy Puyfourcat, 22, who
was coming back from the fields, leading a mare by
the bridle, was surprised when the animal became
restless. Rising from the side of the road, a gray object
about 1.5 m in diameter flew over them. The mare
rose about 3 m in the air, and the witness had to release
the bridle. Then the animal fell like a mass and
for 10 min was unable to move. At last, it rose and
attempted to walk, but it was still trembling and
stumbling with fear. The object had long since flown
away at high speed. The witness himself had felt
absolutely nothing. (Personal)
Mazaye (France). Mr. Bachelard was driving a light
truck on road D52-E between Chanat and Couhay
when suddenly the engine seemed to slow down and
he felt "paralyzed." He then saw in a field near the
road a brown object about 10 m long, 2.5 m high.
Silent, it gave off no light and showed no opening.
(70; M 198)
Baillolet (France). Dr. Robert, while driving through
this village, saw four objects, at about 300 m altitude,
flying slowly in echelon formation. Suddenly one of
them dropped to the ground with a dead-leaf motion,
100 m away. The witness felt an electric shock as
engine and headlights died, and the car stopped when
the object touched the ground. Incapable of moving,
Dr. Robert saw a figure about 1.2 m tall moving in
