317 Oct. 27, 1954, 07:30 P.M., Les-Jonquerets-de-Livet (France). A farmer, Gilbert Hee, was gathering pears when he suddenly saw an elongated object with a light at both ends resting in the pasture. He dared not investigate, but he saw cows gathering around the object. A minute later, the lights went out, and the witness lost interest and went home. Two hours later, an 18-year-old man named Cheradame fell from his motorcycle as it suddenly failed at the same spot, and alerted neighbors saw the object again. It had moved only slightly and two occupants were seen. They were about 1 m tall, walked in stiff fashion, and had clothes resembling bright armor. They vanished suddenly, and the craft took off without noise. (Personal). |
[Ref. gl1:] CHARLES GARREAU AND RAYMOND LAVIER:
The two authors indicate that in Les Jonquerets-de-Livet in the Eure, on October 27, 1954, according to the Vallée catalogue, n° 317, L.D.L.N. of January 1970, a farmer, Mr. Gilbert Hée, saw a lengthened object, with a light at each end, posed in a meadow. Mr. Hée did not dare to advance, whereas his cows went near without appearing to be inconvenienced. One minute later, the lights went out. Not very curious, the farmer returned home.
[Ref. rs1:] RAY STANFORD:
In his book about the famous UFO landing in Socorro, Ray Stanford indicates a number of other sightings of egg-shaped craft that may be significant in this regard.
Among those cases, he indicates that on October 24, 1954, at Les-Jonquerets-de-Livet, Eure, France, a farmer witnessed an elongated object which had landed in a pasture. He chose not to investigate the landed craft.
Two hours later, a youth fell from his motorcycle when it suddenly stalled on a nearby road, and the men in the village then took flashlights and went to the pasture to investigate. Then then observed that the elongated craft had moved a little distance.
Two of the men dared go closer and they saw two little humanoids in bright clothing.
The craft and creatures departed immediately.
[Ref. fr1:] MICHEL FIGUET AND JEAN-LOUIS RUCHON:
The two authors indicate that in Jonquerets de Livet in the Eure on October 27, 1954, there was an observation in two parts by two different witnesses and at one hour interval.
At 07:30 p.m., a first witness, Gilbert Hée, was picking up pears, when he suddenly saw a lengthened object with a light at each end which stationed in a field. He did not dare to examine this apparatus closely. One minute later, the lights at each end of the object went out, and the witness returned home. He has noted that the cows being in the meadow had gathered around the apparatus.
One hour later, at approximately 08:30p.m., another witness passing on the road, at the proximity of the meadow, fell off his motor bike, because it had suddenly stalled; he saw the same apparatus and alerted neighbors who managed to see the apparatus and two beings of an height of one meter twenty, walking in a mechanical manner. Their clothing resembled brilliant armors. A few seconds later the machine took off without noise.
The authors indicate that their sources are the Vallée catalogue, and the books by Michel Carrouges and Garreau and Lavier.
[Ref. bb1:] GERARD BARTHEL AND JACQUES BRUCKER:
The two authors provide the summary by Jacques Vallée and note that he probably did not make an investigation although he says that his source is "personal."
They indicates that Gilbert Hée is deceased, but that they had "another testimony which differs" in which it is an elongated object, lit at each end and which changed into a large sphere like the setting sun very far and very low on the horizon. This other witness does not remember the direction any more and thinks that the observation was a little earlier, and the two authors conclude from that, that Mr. Hée had observed the setting sun at 05:38 p.m..
[Ref. mf1:] FRANCAT - MICHEL FIGUET:
In an extract of his Francat catalogue, Michel Figuet recorded that the case was a confusion according to Barthel and Brucker, pages 56 and 57.
[Ref. rc1:] ROBERT CREPIN, DELEGUE LDLN:
In a catalog of observations in the department of the Creuse, a brief record relates to this case. Nothing particular appears in it, it compares totally to Vallée's summary above and thus seems to be a simple copy of it. However, "Paris-Normandie", a newspaper, is indicated as a source.
[Ref. dj1:] DONALD JOHNSON:
Donald Johnson indicates that on October 27, 1954, at 07:30 p.m., farmer Gilbert Hee saw cows gathering around an elongated object with lights at both ends, resting in his pasture in Les Jonquerets-de-Livet, France. Two hours later an 18-year-old man fell from his motorcycle as it suddenly failed at the same spot; the object had moved only slightly. Hee and his neighbors saw the object and two occupants, who were about three feet tall, walked stiffly, and had clothes resembling bright armor. They vanished suddenly and the craft took off without making a sound.
Donald Johnson indicates that the sources are Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 317; David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1954-120, citing Vallee.
