[Ref. 105:] JACQUES VALLEE:
The author indicates that on October 18, 1954 in Fontenay-Torcy, a man and his wife reported that they had seen a red object in the shape of a cigar in the sky. The object suddenly dove towards them while leaving a reddish trail behind, and landed behind bushes.
When the witnesses reached the ridge of a hill, they were face to face with "a corpulent individual, of human appearance", but of only one meter in height. The individual carried a helmet and his eyes shone of an orange gleam. One of the two witnesses fainted.
The author adds that four people saw this object flying away from another place and a third group of witnesses in Sanson-la-Poterie, another city, saw "the crew flying away" at "an extraordinary speed" in direction of the west and the countryside was illuminated on an extent of two kilometers.

Upon reaching the top of the hill, they were confronted with a bulky human figure, about 1 m tall. The creature wore a helmet and his eyes were glowing with an orange light. One witness fainted on the spot. Four others saw the object in flight from separate locations. The countryside was illuminated over 2 or 3 km. (Personal; Magonia). |

DATE: 10/18/1954 TIME: 08:45 P.M. DEPT: OISE LOCATION: FONTENAY-TORCY A cyclist, Mrs. Lherminier, travels on country road 133 towards Saint-Samson-la-Poterne. Within 500 meters of Fontenay, she sees a luminous craft coming from the west and moving towards the east. Mrs. Lherminier evaluates its altitude as 200 meters. It has the shape of a long cigar of 3 to 4 meters. At its front, a white headlight which illuminates the area on a surface from 3 to 4 square kilometers. At its back, a red trail. It seems to be illuminated on its circumference. It goes down vertically, like an elevator, and lands in a meadow. Although impressed, Mrs. Lherminier continues riding her bicycle. She still rides 300 meters approximately. On the side of the road, she then sees a strange being. It is hardly 1 meter tall. It wears a leather jacket with a drill plate which has brilliant reflections. Its face is black. It is capped with a helmet and is squat. Mrs. Lherminier passes less than 10 meters near the small being. She receives somthing like an electric discharge at the time when it stares at her with its two luminous eyes. Her legs seems suddenly paralysed. She has much trouble to go on pedalling to move away. |
