The author indicates that in France in 1954, at Chatellerault like at Bugeat, a man alleged that normal-looking beings or a normal-looking being approached, kissed him, jabbered unintelligibly, then got into cigar-shaped saucers ten feet long, and took off.

[Ref. ud1:] "UFODNA" WEBSITE:

The website indicates that on 13 October 1954 in Chatellerault, France, there was a "Close encounter with a an unidentified craft and its occupants. An unidentifiable object and its occupants were observed at close range."

The sources are indicated as Wilkins, Harold T., Flying Saucers Uncensored, Citadel, 1955; Hatch, Larry, *U* computer database, Author, Redwood City, 2002.

NOTES:

The man in Bugeat is Antoine Mazaud, see Mourieras for October 10.

The case in Chatellerault is completely unknown to me and might be full in error, maybe a deformation of the famous Marius Dewilde case of October 10.
