Reference number for this case: Oct-54-Sainte-Aulaye. Thank you for including this reference number in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
[Ref. 312] GERARD BARTHEL AND JACQUES BRUCKER:
The two authors quote an article of the newspaper "L'Echo du Ribéraccois", for October 8, 1954, adding the mention "Ste-Aulaye, 0. 30.":
"Mr. and Mrs. Vergnaud, directors of the municipal Hall who, coming back from Montpan, returned on their premises in Sainte-Aulaye, saw in the sky a luminous machine which advanced very quickly while leaving trails seeming to be sparks or fire. "
They give as explanation that the case does not merit comment.
Not looked for yet. Airplane or meteor possible.
