Flying saucersof a rugby ball and appeared to be at a considerable height." In the Meurthe-and-Moselle, several tens of workmen of "Sidelor", living the area of Lantefontaine-les-Baroches (M.-and-M.). claim to have seen six flying cigars between 04:30 and 05:00 in the sky . "We initially saw, they said, two "cigars", then afterwards, four other craft came to join the two first. All remained motionless one moment for finally disappearing instantaneously." In Le Puy, Mrs. Chaumard, resident of the district of La Girète, saw in the sky a machine having the shape of a cigar reddish glowing at an end, silent and appearing motionless. She managed to observe the machine during nearly a quarter of hour, then the "cigar" suddenly disappeared by taking altitude. The same observations were made by six inhabitants of Langeac (Haute-Loire) and several inhabitants of Gelles (Puy-de-Dome) or Clermont-Ferrand. In this area, rugby players training at the Vichy stadium saw a "flying cigar". In the AveyronFrom Villefranche-of-Rouergue in Aveyron, it is reported that an owner of Vabre-Tézac, Mr. Marre, saw a yellowish mass of color which moved away towards the south, without leaving behind any trace of smoke. The attention of Mr. Marre had been drawn by the noise of an engine. Other inhabitants of the locality also heard, from the inside of their house, the same noise, but not having come out, they did not see the weird "mass." |
[Ref. 711] JEAN SIDER:
French ufologist and author Jean Sider learned in an article from the newspaper
Ufologist and author Jean Sider learned the existence of this case from September 14, 1954 at an unknown time in Vabre-Tizac, in the department of the Aveyron, by two articles in the newspapers Le Rouergue Républicain for September 23, 1954 and Le Midi Libre for September 26, 1954. He provides the contents summary as follows:
Mr. Marre was attracted outside by a strange noise which he had been hearing for a while. When he had come out, he walked around his farm and did not have yet anything, when he saw an odd apparatus having a luminous circle at its lower part, rising above him at a sharp pace.
Other people are said to have also seen the machine, some describing it as similar to large superimposed brilliant rings. When the object disappeared, the witnesses came on the supposed landing site, but did not note any trace, therefore they decided to say nothing ot this sighting.
It is only Monday, September 20, 1954 that Mr. Marre, at the "Quatre Routes", told of his observation.
