[Ref. si1] JEAN SIDER:
French ufologist and author Jean Sider notes that on November 3, 1954, at 06:30 a.m., in Mareil-in-Champagne, in the Sarthe, in France, Roland Poirier, aged 15, experienced a close encounter of the third kind reported in the newspapers Les Nouvelles, of Sablé, for November 6, 1954 on page 3, and La Libre Dépêche du Maine, of le Mans, for November 7, 1954 on page 3, in the following manner:
"A young farmer assistant aged 15 experienced last Wednesday the greatest fright of his life, It was 06:30, lighting himself with a hand lantern because of the fog, the young chap who works at Mr. Raymond Baré in La Grange (Mareil), was going to seek the cows to milk. He had hardly walked five hundred meters, when, if he must be believed, he saw in the fog two strange beings:"
"They had a hairy face and a big nose. Their clothing was like metal. And they were capped with a round and transparent helmet. I was very afraid and I yelled. They are started to walk around me, one in a contrary direction of that of the other."
"Suddenly, the farmer saw arriving his assistant, out of breath, disfigured by the fear. The young man however managed to entrust to him that two strange beings, which had disappeared meanwhile, had chased him. The young Roland also specified that the two beings advanced "like skating." Upset by the fear, the teenager was sick all the day and does not want to sleep alone anymore. However, he claims that he was not the victim of an hallucination. Moreover, he had never, it is claimed, read anything about the flying saucers, nor the Martians."
Jean Sider notes that the first journal gives calls the witness Roland Baré, but that Baré was the name of his boss, and not that of his father nor of his uncle, and that the correct witness name is indeed Roland Poirier.
Jean Sider also specifies that that the first source indicates that the eyes of the two beings were "like those of China men."
Further in his book, he indicates that he learned in an article from the newspaper La Dépêche Libre du Maine for November 7, 1954 that Roland Poirier, aged 15, remained sick a whole day after having seen two strange beings equipped with a transparent helmet who turned around him, on November 3, 1954 at 6:30 a.m. in Mareil-en-Champagne in the department of the Sarthe.

[Ref. dj1:] DONALD JOHNSON:
For November 3, 1954, Donald Johnson indicates that two dwarf humanoids wearing metallic suits with helmets were seen in a thick fog at 6:30 a.m. at a farm in Mareil-sur-Loir, France. The beings glided over the ground, and there is the possibility that the two witnesses experienced an episode of missing time.
