REPORTS:

[Ref. 567:] "LE LIBRE POITOU" NEWSPAPER:

What was this mysterious craft
which had landed in a meadow

last Thursday in Chaunay?

This odd as well as strange machine was sketched according to the statements of two young girls of Chaunay who were in its presence last Thursday.

It was 4 in the afternoon approximately, in the meadow belongin to Mr. Didier and adjacent to the house of Mr. Mijon, electrician in Chaunay. His daughter, Danielle, aged 14 and her young comrade Violette Gauvin, aged 8, have allegedly seen this mysterious machine landing at approximately 15 meters away from the place where they were.

The height of the machine was of 0 m 80 approximately, its total length of 1 m 10. The machine comprised a sort of mushroom. The main body was "red, orange, scarlet" (sic). The mushroom on the other hand seemed limpid, vitrified and luminous. In the center of the unit, an axis of the size of a large finger, came out as an antenna of approximately 40 cms height, topped by a green luminous sphere, the size of a melon.

The unit, say the two young girls, caused the dazzling of the eyes.

Young Gauvin had appeared very frightened and had almost fainted. Mr. Mijon, to which the young girls told their adventure, claims to have found a trace in form of an equilateral triangle, with a hole at each top. At each one of the triangle's corner, the lawn seemed to be have been ejected on a few square centimetres. Each side of the triangle, in his opinion, would make 45 cms approximately. And in the center of the triangle he found the presence of another hole with shot and charcoal.

The Mayor of Chaunay was advised of this strange presence on the territory of his community.
