Witness Marius Dewilde told his story to investigator Marc Thiroin:

"It was between 11:30 A.M. and midday when my son, aged three and half, came to inform me that there was "a car on the eailway." I went out, I saw, at 50 meters, a machine of same shape and dimensions that the one I saw a month earlier. It was not on the same tracks, but on those which pass on other side of the house. There was a rectangular opening at the base of the cupola of the machine. All around this base was a series of bumps of which I did not understood the significance. There was also, above the opening, like a horizontal line of port-holes; I distinguished three or four of them but I did not see anything through them." "Beings of human appearance, dressed of a dark gray one piece suit entirely wrapping them, were busy around the apparatus; there were two on the plate of the disc (one on each side of the rectangular opening); later I saw two more of them leave the disc from behind - or more exactly perhaps - from its lower part. A fifth came out of the opening, went down to ground, spoke with the others; it appeared me to be the chief. He came to me. I had not stopped to advancing towards the machine during these observations, so that we met within approximately 3 meters of the apparatus." "The being which was in front of me may have been of 1.30 meters of height. He gave the impression to me to be small but not to be a dwarf. He was entirely covered with an apparently tight and waterprrof one piece suit, comprising a helmet equipped with a transparent part in front of the face, of gloves and shoes, the whole in a very flexible matter, dark gray and mate, which could be an impermeable fabric, a plastic or rubber. A pad went down vertically from under its right arm to half-thigh level. Through the transparent part of the helmet, I saw his face, a little of his ears and the starting of the hair. The general aspect was Asian, Mongolian; the jaw was rather strong, the high knobs, the hair, the very black eyebrows, the brown eyes; rather brown skin: it was that of a white man with a dark complexion, not rosy but tanned, less "cooked" that that the color one attributes to the red indians, rather comparable with that of the Arabs, darker at the places where we have beard. No moustache. Nonprojecting eyes." "The being flattered my son whom I held in my arms, tapped me on the shoulder, while smiling, and started to speak in a language that I did not know. I heard it very well, which is rather curious since he spoke to me through his helmet. I saw that he had very white teeth, impeccable. In the whole, his face was regular and really beautiful. His smile was completely human, like his facial expressions and his gestures. The beings, similar to him, that I saw around the machine, smiled, they too, from time to time." "I was within 3 meters of the apparatus and perceived deaf complaints inside. It seemed me to hear repeat: Bukak... bukak... While looking at by the opening, I saw two other beings, one lying on the floor - I supposed that it was him who groaned - the other upright near him. As I was almost in the axis of the door, I could see the material inside was like "waxed" and a really strange materia, plenty of very small things - buttons of different colors, sorts of pressure gauges, etc, out of dark, gray metal (?), impeccable of cleanliness." "The language in which the being spoke to me was apparently neither Chinese, neither an Indochinese language, nor the Siamese one; the sequence of the sounds seemed to me rather European, but it was, in my view, neither English, neither German, nor a Latin language. I am really unable to specify more, being totally unfamiliarized with foreign languages. The being took some steps towards my poultry, which was eating not far from us, he bent down to seize a hen. Instead of fleeing while shouting as these animals do, when I try to catch them, this one "froze" and let itself submissively be taken; I was amazed by that. He showed it in his hands then gave it to the two beings which had remained close to the door. They bent down a little and took it." "Finally the being again cuddled my child, on the head, and again tapped me on the shoulder, nicely, then beckoned to me to go away a little. He eneterd in the machine, preceded by the two characters to which he had given the hen and followed by the two others who were behind or under the machine one moment before. Two of them helped him to climb up by giving him a hand. The character upright inside bent down to move the one who was lying, in order to free the entry. When seeing them move, I noticed that they were well proportioned, that they had a quiet behaviour, that while remaining subjected to gravity they did not seem, to some extent, to feel the weight nor to indicate any tiredness." "A panel sealed the door, slipping from top to bottom, rather quickly but without brutality. Then the machine took off vertically, with no noise and no smoke, and disappeared towards the east. I had the time to see the lower part of the disc: there was a central part in relief, surrounded by small circles and lines laid out in rays. I was not very inclined to reveal this observation, remembering the troubles I went into the first time. But my wife spoke about it and the rumour spread, which again brought flood of investigators on the premises." |

226 Oct. 10, 1954 Quarouble (France). Second landing here, seen by Marius Dewilde (cf. Case 144) and his 4-year-old son. A disk, 6 m diameter, about 1 m high, landed again on the tracks. Seven little men emerged and spoke in an unknown language. The craft then vanished without noise or smoke. Traces larger than the first, and symmetrical, were observed. Dewilde refused to report the case. (Personal; Magonia) |
[Ref. 898:] GILBERT CORNU AND HENRI CHALOUPEK:
The authors indicate that on October 10, 1952, Marius Dewilde who already had a UFO experience on September 10, 1952, was the witness of a second "landing" on the railway close to Quarouble in the Nord.
They indicate that his testimony was often disputed but that it comprizes curious details however and in addition traces were noted again; and finally, he was so "marked" by the events that he had changed so much changed in the following years, which makes it difficult to think that it did not live anything.
He described the UFO as a 6 meters diameter disc, one meter in height, and this time, there were seven helmeted beings dressed of gray suits who came forward in full daylight little before midday.
The one who seemed to be their chief and had "Asian" facial feature had carressed his son whom it held in his arms. In spite of the helmet, he very well heard his words which he did not understand.
Before leaving, this "chief" bent down and seized a hen which, instead of running away as hens normally do, stayed on the spot let itself being caught, which amazed Dewilde.
The traces, ten, were analyzed a long time by Marc Thiroin who saw in them a system of mooring consisting in two claws, one vertical, the other oblique.
The authors indicate that the sources are an investigation by Marc Thiroin in the AAMT Archive, and Michel Figuet, pages 143-144.

146. Location. Quarouble France Date: October 10 1954 Time: 1130A Marius Dewilde (involved in a previous encounter) and his 4-year old son were walking near his home. Suddenly Dewilde saw a disc-shaped object on the ground on some nearby railroad tracks, about 50 meters away. Walking cautiously towards the craft Dewilde noticed a rectangular shaped aperture at the base of the cupola and a row of windows. Several humanoids stood around the object. One of them, who appeared to be the leader, approached Dewilde and his son, while they stood several meters from the craft. The humanoid (leader) was about 1.20m in height, and wore a helmet equipped with a transparent faceplate. His facial features were Asiatic. He had a protruding chin and pointed cheeks, the hair was jet-black in color its eyes were brown and its skin was bronzed. In a friendly gesture the humanoid caressed Dewilde's son, whom Dewilde was carrying in his arms, the humanoid then tapped Dewilde on his back several times, smiling as he did and then pronounced several unintelligible words. Immediately afterwards the humanoid grabbed a chicken, which he gave to one of the other humanoids. The humanoid again caressed Dewilde's son and slapped Dewilde's back and then climbed onboard the object. A metallic panel closed the door and the object took off vertically disappearing towards the east. Humcat 1954-85 Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia Type: B |
