1954, NORD DE LA FRANCE, FRANCE, QUELQU'UN:

BRIEF SUMMARY OF EVENT AND FOLLOW-UP:

Ufologist Eric Zürcher indicated in 1980 that ufologist Aimé Michel told him that in 1954 in the north of France, someone, not named, saw a flying saucer land on the ground and a small man emerge from it.

The small man was allegedly entirely covered with a diving-suit which did not let any detail appear and allegeldy said this sentence in French:

"Intelligence prohibited to the constipated and cancer comes from tooth ache (or "from within'; which sounds the same in French)".

He then allegeldy went back into his saucer which "disappeared" fast.

NARRATIVES:

[Ref. ez1:] ERIC ZURCHER:

Ufologist Eric Zurcher constituted a small catalogue of about thirty previously unpublished French cases, among which this one:

021.1954. North of France. X...

The witness saw a saucer land and a small man come out of it. He was entirely covered with a diving suit which did not allow to distinguish anything. He made hear in French these completely absurd 2 sentences:

"Intelligence is prohibited to the constipated and cancer comes from tooth ache (or, 'from within')". Then it went up in the UFO which disappeared quickly.

Source: Communicated by A. Michel

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Location. Nord (Northern) France (exact location not given)

Date: 1954

Time: unknown

An anonymous witness reported seeing a disc-shaped object land and a small man come out of it. He was entirely covered in a dark tight-fitting diving suit, which did not allow distinguishing none of his features. The little man then communicated in French with the witness saying the following absurd sentences:

"Intelligence is prohibited to the constipated and cancer comes from a tooth ache." The little man then walked back into the disc, which then took off and disappeared.

HC addendum:
Source: Eric Zurcher quoting Aime Michel

Type: B

POINTS TO CONSIDER:

This is a story without credibility, which apparently was the subject of no checking neither investigation nor decent documentation, and in which Aimé Michel probably did not believe for a second if one considers what he thought of the "contactees" as expressed in his book on the 1954 French flap.
